Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2726851, member: 1899"] Round 8 BRISBANE 20; ST GEORGE 18 at Adelaide Oval The second Winfield Cup match in Adelaide produced a highly exciting duel between Brisbane and St George, which finished the Broncos’ way 20-18. Brisbane had forged to a 20-4 lead soon after halftime, but with a handful of players backing up after the second State of Origin match, it was inevitable that they would tire as the match wore on. Saints, wearing distinctive protective lycra shorts for the first time, stormed back into the match with three second half tries. When winger Rex Terp crossed for his second try three minutes from fulltime, 18-year-old Andrew Walker had a relatively simple conversion attempt which would have levelled the scores. But he failed, and the goalkicking problem which had plagued the club had struck again. With their Origin men fatigued, the Broncos called upon their less experienced players for a big effort and they responded. Prop Shaun Keating, five-eighth Julian O’Neil, and wingers Pat Savage and Brett Plowman played a leading role in the victory. Brisbane Broncos 20 (Savage 2, Plowman, Renouf tries; Matterson 2 goals) defeated St George Illawarra Dragons 18 (Terp 2, Wade, Smith tries; Walker goal) Brisbane Paul Hauff, Michael Hancock, Steve Renouf, Julian O’Neil, Brett Plowman Kevin Walters, Allan Langer Glenn Lazarus, Kerrod Walters, Shaun Keating, Mark Hohn, Trevor Gillmeister, Terry Matterson. Interchange: Darren Plowman, Chris Johns, Pat Savage, Peter Ryan St George Michael Potter, Rex Terp, Mark Coyne, Michael Beattie, Cameron Wade Peter Coyne, Noel Goldthorpe Tony Priddle, Wayne Collins, Guy Picken, David Barnhill, Scott Gourley, Brad Mackay Interchange: Andrew Walker, Matthew Elliott, Neil Tienery, Tony Smith [/QUOTE]
