Round 20, 1988: Parramatta 22 d Brisbane 14
Official Yearbook of the NSWRL
Parramatta's superior reserve strength knocked the Broncos to their knees in a top notch encounter at Parramatta Stadium.
Brisbane were without five regular first graders, Bryan Niebling, Greg Dowling, Joe Kilroy, Rohan Teevan and Shane Duffy and lost Greg Conescu midway through the match.
Parramatta were similarly burdened. They had been without many match winning stars for large slices of the season, but their depth shone as they beat the semi-final hopefuls 22-14.
A heartening return to form by Steve Ella was the highlight of the match. Ella dictated play at five-eighth and sliced through Brisbane's defence and set up opportunities for his outside men repeatedly.
He booted five goals from six attempts too, and they proved decisive in the three tries-apiece encounter.
Brisbane's world class halfback pairing of Allan Langer and Wally Lewis again were strong and effective.
