[QUOTE="Splinter, post: 2548954, member: 8219"] I cannot remember the finer detail of the match but remember the excitement when we won. These matches were played hard by Brisbane as it was our only venting against NSW apart from SOO. Qld was dudded in the cup as well with Qld Country forced to qualify but NSW Country given a free ride to the first round. Take a look at the team from back then and i would be happy with that squad as our Broncos team now. Some great young players in the team. Wally Lewis man of the series With the demise of Newtown, the competition was reduced to 17 teams in a straight knock-out. 2 teams played off in the preliminary round. There was a random draw for all other rounds.

Lewis opened the scoring when he was tackled a few metres from the try-line and in the absence of a marker played the ball forward and dove over for a try. He was also named man-of-the-match [/QUOTE]
