Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2743006, member: 1899"] Round 21 BRISBANE 16; PARRAMATTA 8 at Lang Park Brisbane overcame magnificent performances from Eels’ veterans Brett Kenny and Peter Wynn to remain on line for the semi-finals before a record crowd at Lang Park. The gates were closed half an hour before kickoff as 33, 245 packed inside. The crowd was the highest for a premiership match outside the Moore Park area in the history of the NSWRL. Test prop Sam Backo and young Scott Tronc, who had finally shaken off his injury woes, were the leaders for the Broncos. Both made a huge impact with their constant rampages and deft ball skills which created many breaks for supports. Brisbane raced to an early 8-0 lead but Kenny, in sparkling touch, raced 30 metres to evade Gene Miles, then beat Tony Currie on the way to the tryline after 20 minutes. Although it was Parramatta’s only try, they were always a threat to the Broncos. Brisbane finished with three tries (Hancock two and Plowman) but their fans didn’t breathe easy until the final siren had sounded. Brisbane Broncos 16 (Hancock 2, B. Plowman tries; Matterson 2 goals) defeated Parramatta Eels 8 (Kenny try; Leeds 2 goals) Brisbane Broncos Tony Currie, Michael Hancock, Peter Jackson, Chris Johns, Brett Plowman Wally Lewis, Gary French Scott Tronc, Greg Conescu, Sam Backo, Gene Miles, Brett Le Man, Terry Matterson Reserves: Andrew Gee, James Donnelly, Rohan Teevan Parramatta Eels Andrew Leeds, Mark Erickson, Brett Kenny, Dave Woods, David Liddiard Mark Barnes, Mark Laurie Greg Drake, Mark Budgen, Peter Wynn, Peter Johnston, Craig Izzard, Peter Martin Reserves: Jason Bell, Brett Atkins [/QUOTE]
