Message: [QUOTE="Broncoman, post: 2578143, member: 7803"] I've read Wally Lewis' biography and it had many references to the Brisbane league in the 80's about how tribal and keenly contested it was and how the Broncos and Giants entering the Winfield Cup took the shine away. In a way you sort of can't blame the Brisbane players at the time moving to NSW and playing there. As professional sportsmen they want to make the best move for their careers and playing and succeeding in a more well known competition would've made their profiles bigger and more known to the wider Australian Rugby League public other than QLD. I'm certain if you spoke to Mal, Steve Walters, Gary Belcher, Steve Jackson and the other QLD members of Canberra's 1989 success they would say the 1989 Grand Final was the greatest game they ever played in and that the premiership win was one of their greatest achievements.
