Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2725894, member: 1899"] ROUND 3 BRISBANE 24; CANBERRA 16 at Bruce Stadium An ongoing injury crisis threw Canberra’s teamwork into disarray in their clash with heavyweights Brisbane at Bruce Stadium. Minus internationals Gary Belcher, Gary Coyne, Laurie Daley and Ricky Stuart, the Raiders were unable to match the class of the Broncos, who won the game 24-16. Canberra lost champion lock Bradley Clyde at halftime and were without halves Chris O’Sullivan and Phil Blake along with second-rower Steve Stone for periods of the match. Brisbane led 12-6 at halftime and increased their advantage to 24-6 midway through the second half before Canberra scored two late tries. Diminutive five-eighth Kevin Walters spearheaded the Broncos’ assault. He scored two tries and was involved in the third in a classy display. His combination with halfback Allan Langer gave Brisbane a decided edge over their rivals. Brisbane’s maligned forward pack stood up to be counted, with former Raider Glenn Lazarus leading the way, ahead of strong showings from Gavin Allen, Trevor Gillmeister, Julian O’Neil and Kerrod Walters. Brisbane 24 (Kevin Walters 2, Langer, Johns tries; O’Neil 4 goals) defeated Canberra 16 (McDonald, Hoppe, Meninga tries; Meninga, Wood goals) Brisbane Paul Hauff, Tony Currie, Steve Renouf, Chris Johns, Willie Carne Kevin Walters, Allan Langer Glenn Lazarus, Kerrod Walters, Mark Hohn, Gavin Allen, Trevor Gillmeister, Julian O’Neil. Interchange: Alan Cann, Willie Morganson Canberra Darrell McDonald, Sean Hoppe, Mal Meninga, Brett Mullins, Jason Croker Phil Blake, Chris O’Sullivan Paul Osborne, Steve Walters, David Woods, Brett Hetherington, Steve Stone, Bradley Clyde [FONT=&quot]Interchange: Matthew Wood, David Boyle, Darren Fritz, Jason Death[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
