Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2743001, member: 1899"] Round 17 MANLY 16; BRISBANE 8 at Lang Park Inconsistent Manly turned on the class at Lang Park to inflict their first defeat of the Brisbane Broncos. Minus eight internationals, Brisbane played their worst game in two seasons, slumping to their sixth defeat in seven matches. Manly, on the other hand, played with great purpose and commitment, providing some solace for outgoing coach Alan Thompson and genuine hope for new coach Graham Lowe, who was watching from the stands. Cliff Lyons was at his scheming best for Manly, weaving his magic and mesmerising the Broncos with his intelligent use of the ball. The support of second-rower Glenn Bourne, hooker Mal Cochrane and halfback Geoff Toovey was outstanding. A magnificent solo try by winger Sean Townsend gave Manly the lead in the 52[SUP]nd[/SUP] minute and from that point they asserted the authority they had threatened all match. Manly Sea Eagles 16 (Ronson, Townsend, Waddell tries; Cochrane 2 goals) defeated Brisbane Broncos 8 (Johns try; Matterson 2 goals) Brisbane Broncos Shane Duffy, Brett Plowman, Steve Renouf, Chris Johns, Joe Kilroy Gary French, Grant Rix Greg Dowling, Greg Conescu, Scott Tronc, Brett Le Man, James Donnelly, Terry Matterson Reserves: Andrew Gee, Bryan Niebling Manly Sea Eagles Greg Gibson, Sean Townsend, David Ronson, Matt Burke, Craig Hancock Cliff Lyons, Geoff Toovey Phil Daley, Mal Cochrane, Hugh Waddell, Glenn Bourne, Peter Cullum, Owen Cunningham Reserves: Mark Pocock, Ian Gately [/QUOTE]
