Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2743003, member: 1899"] Round 19 BRISBANE 20; WESTS 8 at Lang Park Brisbane broke an alarming drought to score only their second win in nine matches to beat Wests 20-8 at Lang Park. It was a do or die mission for the Broncos, who would have slipped from semi-final calculations with another loss. Although the scoreline may have suggested it, there was nothing convincing about the Broncos’ effort. But encouraging for Brisbane was the form of youngsters Brett Plowman and Andrew Gee, and the greater involvement of skipper Wally Lewis. Wests were their own worst enemies, squandering possession inside their own quarter on numerous occasions. Their discipline and error rate was as poor as any stage of the season. Skipper Ellery Hanley was far less involved than coach John Bailey would have liked although he did appear more willing in the second half. The Magpies didn’t manage to score a try until the final minutes of play, even though they had fought their way over the line twice previously. Best for Brisbane were Plowman, Gee, Grant Rix and Scott Tronc. Brisbane Broncos 20 (B. Plowman 2, Hancock, Le Man tries; French 2 goals) defeated Wests Magpies 8 (Tuuta try, O’Doherty 2 goals) Brisbane Broncos Grant Rix, Michael Hancock, Tony Currie, Chris Johns, Brett Plowman Peter Jackson, Gary French Scott Tronc, Kerrod Walters, Sam Backo, Andrew Gee, Brett Le Man, Wally Lewis Reserves: Bryan Niebling, Rohan Teevan Western Suburbs Magpies Danny Peacock, Graham Mackay, Jason Lidden, Jason Stafford, Wayne Simonds Brendon Tuuta, Richard Smith Pat O’Doherty, Shane Flanagan, Dave Woods, Dave Gallagher, Cameron Blair, Ellery Hanley Reserves: Gary Bukowski, Trevor Cogger [/QUOTE]
