Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2742998, member: 1899"] Round 16 PENRITH 18, BRISBANE 8 at Penrith Park Brisbane slumped to their third successive defeat against a Penrith side hard pressed to assert their authority. The 18-8 scoreline flattered the Panthers who were up against a Broncos outfit minus 11 regular first graders. The situation was beginning to look critical for Brisbane, who clung desperately to the top five. Penrith winger Alan McIndoe, overlooked by Australian selectors for the New Zealand tour, did some important work, leaving his wing a couple of times to bring off crunching tackles and he also scored a try midway through the first half to extend Penrith’s lead to 10-2. Injuries took a severe toll on the Panthers in this match. A serious groin tear to Peter Kelly and injuries to Mark Geyer, Chris Mortimer and John Cartwright were a big worry for coach Ron Willey. Brisbane battled gamely for a virtual reserve grade lineup with front row trio James Donnelly, Greg Conescu and Scott Tronc showing the way.
