Today in 1988

[1910]

Broncos v Dragons at Lang Park.

Teams were: Brisbane – S Duffy, M Hancock, R Teevan, C Johns, J Kilroy, W Lewis (c), A Langer, T Matterson, B Le Man, G Miles, A Tessmann, G Conescu, G Dowling Interchange: B Noke, K Walters (Coach W Bennett)
St George – C Mohr, B Gordon, P Gill, M Beattie, R Walford, S Robinson, B Clark, G Selby, G Wynn, W Fullerton-Smith, C Young (c), T Bailey, P Osborne Interchange: M Blackburn (Coach T Glossop)

Brisbane 26 (R Teevan 2, G Miles, C Johns tries T Matterson 5 goals) defeated St George 22 (R Walford 2, C Mohr, C Young tries R Walford 3 goals)

Dragons had won eight straight, Miles dropped from the Test side, Dragons had two sin binnings and a 14-4 penalty count against.

Broncos up 18-14 at half time.

But the big talking point was in a big stuff you to Lang Park and XXXX the Broncos stayed on the field at half time behind a Power's square banner.

Powers weren't allowed to be seen at Lang Park at all.

Powers Bitter shouldn't have been allowed to be seen anywhere

I'm curious? There's a Walters on the bench in the 1st grade team (kerod Walters?), and two Walters in the reserve. One would be kerod Walters. Who is the other? Kevin Walters didn't transfer from Canberra until 1989, unless my memory fails me.

Same guy, Kerrod played in both games.

Yeah, the bench worked differently back then, my understanding is players on the bench were selected from the reserve grade game, correct me if I'm wrong.

You are spot on, bench players in first grade often didn't get a run.

Two reserves. Kerrod came up from Reserve grade and Noke was the fresh player. Andrew Walters is on the bench in reserve grade too.

Thus the three listed.

Was Andrew a brother of the twins? or a namesake. He have to be a bit hard done if hewas, as the only Walters not to really make it.

5 Walters brothers in total, Brett, Steve, Andrew, Kerrod and Kevin Walters.

Micheal Beatie got busted with bullet proof vests , guns and large amount of amphetamine a few years later .
I was shocked and amazed .

Brother, Drew was very talented but badly hurt his neck. Brett and Drew played for Ipswich in the 80's and lower grades with the Broncos.

Brett also played for Norths in the BRL.

They all played first grade football.

Brother, Drew

Sounds like some kind of Kimmy Schmidt (tv show) joke.
