Which wanker voted Wynnum? Lol
I won't name names but there's a clown on TK who thinks Wally is the GOAT. Check the thread....Which wanker voted Wynnum? Lol
Combined Brisbane 14 (Scott, Ribot tries, Meninga 3 goals) d Canterbury 11 (Johnstone try, Conlon 3 goals, Lamb field goal) at Lang Park. Scrums: Canterbury 10-7. Penalties: Brisbane 15-10. Crowd: 8,000. Ref: Eddie Ward.I recall a midweek cup semi final where the bulldogs narrowly lost to a combined Brisbane team. It might have been in 1984.
Perhaps a game against the respective premiership winners might have gone our way. We'll never know but it would of been an interesting concept of a game at the time.

Settle down champ. Broncos were in their first year of the competition in 1988, most of their team were still quite young but they also had 5 to 6 representatives in their team but how many teams win the competition in their first season?How did Wally Lewis and the virtual Origin Broncos in Lang Park go in 1988 against the Dogs when the Broncos were leading and a certain Dogs player came off the bench? Who turned the match around with his first touch of the ball that led to a try in the same movement that ultimately put the Dogs back in the game and win the match? That same Dogs player who won man of that match despite playing only 20 minutes against the same "seriously good representative players throughout their team that would later form most of the Broncos team when they entered the competition in 1988."
Which team won the comp in 1988?
Here ends your lesson.
They never won until they got rid of Wally. That's how good he was. Another lesson for you. You just keep digging holes for yourself.Settle down champ.

They won their first 6 games of that season and thrashed the previous years Premiers in Manly but ultimately didn't have the depth of other teams as it was their first year in the competition. Didn't take them long to win it though, 4 years later and then again the following year when they were more settled and in their prime.
As for us we were undoubtedly the team of the 80's having won 4 premierships in '80, 84, 85 and 88. But we went from the entertainers in 1980 under Ted Glossop to fortress like defence under Warren Ryan in '84 and 85 and then played a bit more open football again in 1988 under Phil Gould. It was a golden era for the club and they were all great teams.
Its 7 August not 1st of April.King Wally was the best player I have ever seen play the game. I just wish he'd been born in Bankstown.
"Digging Holes". How juvenile are you? Did you ever see him play?They never won until they got rid of Wally. That's how good he was. Another lesson for you. You just keep digging holes for yourself.
Listen dropkick i know all about the acolades thrown at Wally. The immortal tag is complete crap and judged by media clowns. Broncos was stacked with ORIGIN PLAYERS FROM DAY 1. THATS A FACT. WALLY COULDN'T LEAD A STACKED ORIGIN CLUB SIDE TO A GF LET ALONE WIN A GF IN THE ARL. They had to sack him."Digging Holes". How juvenile are you? Did you ever see him play?
As Philistine mentioned and to anyone with half a brain will tell you he was the best Rugby League player in the '80's. He represented his state and country and all you can hang your hat on is they never won a premiership until Wally left.
You obviously have NO idea how a club develops and NO club has ever won in their first season of joining the competition but you completely ignore his record at State and National level.
Here's a bit more info for you to absorb:
Lewis is one of only a handful of players to be named a Rugby League Immortal and was one of the six inaugural members of the Australian Rugby League Hall of Fame.
He achieved the greatest honour in Rugby League: the captaincy of his country, but it was his feats as Queensland skipper and playmaker in State of Origin that he achieved legendary status. He played 31 Origin games (30 as captain) and a record 8 Man of the Match awards over a 12-year period.
Here ends the Lesson!
You're Welcome.
The king LewisGene Miles and Wally the wanker from memory playing for Wynnum back then.

Wally the Best player in the 80s? What a joke. He couldn't handle playing in the ARL.
HERE ENDS ANOTHER LESSON FOR YOU. Buy another spade and keep digging that hole.

Have to love when sport was not professional hahaI think I might have seen King Wally's first appearance in a "group one" match. I was visiting Brisbane in 1981 and I went to Lang Park to watch Combined Brisbane vs Newtown in the mid week cup. Meninga was the only player in the Brisbane team I had heard of, and he did nothing. Lewis, who was just starting out, played a blinder.
Newtown were leading comfortably with a few minutes to go and Brisbane scored to close it up to (I think) 23-19. Brisbane pressed hard to try to snag a win against the odds, and , when we reached the 80 minute mark the referee did not end the game. The teams played close to 10 minutes of "injury time" (there hadn't been any injuries) with Brisbane in possession and looking likely to score every play. The referee only called a halt when Brisbane lost the ball in about the 89th minute.
Since then I have only watched matches from Lang Park from the comfort of my armchair, but I don't think the refereeing has changed much.
King Wally was the best player I have ever seen play the game. I just wish he'd been born in Bankstown.

You’re entitled to your opinion but even when presented with facts you still can’t accept the FACT he was one of if not the greatest Rugby League player to have ever laced up a boot.
The FACT that he was ONE of SIX to make it in the inaugural into the ARL Hall of Fame and was among a handful of players to be named a Rugby League Immortal. But that means nothing to YOU.
There were many great five eights throughout the ‘80’s including club legends Brett Kenny, outstanding player both here and in England plus our own Terry Lamb, greatest team player I’ve seen but they both took a back seat to Lewis when the Australian squad was picked.
No digging holes just FACTS!
