Round 5, 1987: Parramatta 20 d Canterbury 8
Rugby League 1987-88 Official Yearbook
A brilliant debut match by Bob Lindner pushed the 'go' button, at last, for premiers Parramatta.
The big occasion, a game against their grand final rivals before 19,000 fans at the Stadium, really brought out the best in the Eels.
And it was Lindner who was the big talking point afterwards. He performed brilliantly 'first up', running and tackling with great relish.
It was a match of great intensity, and plenty of drama. Canterbury's hard man, Peter Kelly lasted only 11 minutes, before being marched for a high tackle on Peter Wynn.
Against a revved up Parramatta who just had to win Canterbury found the task of playing for 69 minutes a man down, beyond them.
Gradually Parramatta edged away.
It was 8-0 when John Muggleton potted four straight goals, and then 14-0 when Muggleton was awarded a 53rd minute penalty try, after Paul Dunn was ruled to have unfairly held him back in a chase for the ball.
Canterbury picked up tries in the last 20 minutes (Alchin, Farrar), but the game, and the premiership points were long gone by then.
The 'Bookends', Bugden and Leabeater, and Eels skipper Peter Sterling, with a fine, scheming game, shared the honors with new boy Lindner.
Parramatta 20 (P.Sterling, J.Muggleton (pen) tries, J.Muggleton 6 goals) defeated Canterbury 8 (J.Alchin, A.Farrar tries).
