Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2728809, member: 1899"] Round 21 BRISBANE 37; NEWCASTLE 12 at Lang Park Brisbane turned a 12-2 deficit into a 20-12 halftime lead which launched a stunning 37-12 win over Newcastle in the Broncos’ final match at Lang Park. The Knights had taken up the early running and shocked the competition leaders with tries to Mark Sargent and Matthew Rodwell in the space of three minutes midway through the half. But soon after, Rodwell and Marc Glanville were dispatched to the sin bin by referee Bill Harrigan and Brisbane hit back. The first of three tries to Kevin Walters came two minutes after Glanville left the field and the Broncos were in again soon after Rodwell was ordered off. The match had its share of controversies, with first the sin-binnings and then a try scored by Walters which should not have been allowed. Newcastle were penalised 10-2 in the first half, with four of these penalties awarded for off-side. Once Brisbane hit their straps there was no stopping them and the second half turned into one-way traffic. Fullback Julian O’Neil created history for the Broncos when he kicked the first field goal ever by a Brisbane player in first grade, in the 69[SUP]th[/SUP] minute. Walters and lock Terry Matterson were the pick of the Broncos in a rampaging performance. Brisbane Broncos 37 (Kevin Walters 3, O’Neil, Renouf, Savage tries; Matterson 6/7 goals; O’Neil 1/1 field goal) defeated Newcastle Knights 12 (Rodwell, Sargent tries; Schuster 2/2 goals) Brisbane Julian O’Neil, Willie Carne, Steve Renouf, Chris Johns, Michael Hancock Kevin Walters, Allan Langer Glenn Lazarus, Mark Hohn, Gavin Allen, Alan Cann, Trevor Gillmeister, Terry Matterson. Interchange: Andrew Gee, Pat Savage, John Plath, Willie Morganson Newcastle Brad Godden, Robbie O’Davis, John Schuster, Adrian Brunker, Tony Herman Michael Hagan, Matthew Rodwell Mark Sargent, Robbie McCormack, Paul Harragon, Glenn Miller, David Mullane, Marc Glanville Interchange: Rodney Howe, Ashley Gordon, Tony Butterfield [/QUOTE]
