[QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2750566, member: 1899"] [CENTER][CENTER][SIZE=3][B] STATE OF ORIGIN [/B][/SIZE][SIZE=3][B]GAME III, 1984[/B][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][B]Lang Park [/B][/SIZE] [/CENTER] [/CENTER] [B] NEW SOUTH WALES 22 ([/B]Johnston 2, Cleal tries; Conlon 5/7 goals) defeated [B]QUEENSLAND 12 [/B](Lindner, Boustead tries; Meninga 2/4 goals) [B]QUEENSLAND[/B] Colin Scott, John Ribot, Mal Meninga, Brett French, Kerry Boustead Wally Lewis, Ross Henrick Greg Dowling, Greg Conescu, Dave Brown, Chris Phelan, Wally Fullerton-Smith, Bob Lindner Reserves: Bob Kellaway, Tony Currie [B]NEW SOUTH WALES[/B] Garry Jack, [I]Steve Morris*, Chris Mortimer*, Brian Johnston*[/I], Ross Conlon Brett Kenny, Steve Mortimer Steve Roach, Royce Simmons, Pat Jarvis, Noel Cleal, [I]Chris Walsh*, Peter Wynn*[/I] Reserves: [I]Mick Potter*[/I], Peter Tunks After a spiteful encounter on a boggy SCG pitch, New South Wales made their way to Lang Park searching for redemption. They knew they let Game II slip away from them. They had been the better team for the majority of the first half, but mistakes and missed opportunities enabled Queensland to pull off a famous win to capture a remarkable third successive series win. Nearly a month had passed since Game II, and while the build-up failed to match that of Games I and II, both teams looked forward to another grueling contest on a wet Lang Park surface. [B]FIRST HALF[/B] After a series of Maroons infringements, sharpshooter Ross Conlon bagged two penalty goals, gifting New South Wales an early 4-0 lead. It didn’t take long for the Maroons to respond, Lewis floated a pass to Big Mal who put Boustead into space before Kerry found rangy forward Bobby Lindner trailing on the inside. Meninga knocked over the conversion, making it 6-4 Queensland. Then in the shadows of half-time New South Wales cracked the Maroons. A good defensive set provided Mortimer and Kenny the impetus to launch an impressive counter attack down the Blues right hand edge. Turvey took advantage of a gap right behind the Maroons ruck and once again combined with Kenny to send Johnston over to restore the Blues lead. At half-time it was New South Wales 8; Queensland 6. [B]SECOND HALF[/B] After knocking over their third penalty goal of the night, New South Wales continued their assault of the Maroons line. Colin Scott dropped a difficult catch underneath the uprights after a towering bomb from Noel Cleal. Cleal beat everyone to the ball, diving on it to extend the Blues lead 16-6. The Maroons tried valiantly to get themselves back into the contest, but a determined NSW defensive line forced them into error over and over again. It took it’s toll mid-way through the second half when Brian Johnston bagged a second following an uncharacteristic mistake from Wally Lewis. The Maroons eventually hit back through Kerry Boustead inside the final ten minutes but New South Wales were always in control. As the final siren sounded, New South Wales emerged victorious, taking a relieving 22-12 victory inside enemy territory. [/QUOTE]
