Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2726852, member: 1899"] Round 9 BRISBANE 26; SOUTHS 18 at Lang Park Brisbane were forced to come from behind to thwart a spirited challenge from Souths in the wind and rain at Lang Park. Without six Origin players and three other injured internationals, Brisbane scored one of their best against-the-odds wins. The Rabbitohs were poised for a stunning upset victory when they led the Broncos 14-6 just before halftime but their won lack of discipline almost certainly cost them the match. Winger Darren Scott, five eighth Darrell Trindall and skipper Craig Coleman were all sin-binned at various stages of the second half. “We find it hard to win with 13 players, let alone with 12 for 50 of the 80 minutes,” said coach Frank Curry. Running into the wind of the second half, Brisbane quickly made up the leeway. They equalised in the 46[SUP]th[/SUP] minute with a Brett Plowman try, and took the lead for the first time soon after when five-eighth Julian O’Neil scored, only for Souths to reply with a try to Eion Crossan. The turning point came with Coleman’s sin-binning nine minutes from fulltime. O’Neil capitilised on Souths’ defensive shortfall to score his second try and give the Broncos victory. O’Neil and Kerrod Walters were the Broncos best. Brisbane Broncos 26 (O’Neil 2, Renouf, Plowman tries; Matterson 5 goals) defeated South Sydney Rabbitohs 18 (Mellor, Carroll, Crossan tries; Crossan 3 goals) Brisbane Scott Blacker, Brett Plowman, Steve Renouf, Will Morganson, Pat Savage Julian O’Neil, John Plath Andrew Tessmann, Kerrod Walters, Shaun Keating, Trevor Gillmeister, Mark Hohn, Terry Matterson Interchange: Peter Ryan, Tony Currie Souths Rod Maybon, Eion Crossan, Manoa Thompson, Paul Mellor, Darren Schott Darrell Trindall, Craig Coleman Peter Johnston, Sean Garlick, Mark Carroll, Darren Maroon, Arthur Pappas, Darren Brown Interchange: Blake Butcher, Brett Patterson, Daniel Coote [/QUOTE]
