Broncos crash out
NZPA-AAP Sydney The real Cronulla stood up to send the star-studded Brisbane Broncos crashing out of the race for the Winfield Cup Rugby League finals with a 38-14 demolition at Parramatta Stadium. The Sharks, who set themselves up for the play-off for fifth place with their own patchy form in recent weeks, were simply awesome in their six tries-to-two triumph. Long-time Cronulla officials were scratching their heads to find a previous effort which compared to the humiliation of Wally Lewis’ men, which incredibly reversed a 42-10 thrashing at Lang Park earlier in the year. From the elusive fullback, Jonathan Docking, to the tireless stand-off half, Michael Speechley and the second-rower extraordinaire, Gavin Miller, each of Cronulla’s XIII played the match of their lives.
