Hoffman is loaded onto the medicab. All the best wishes to the Eels centre as he is given a round of applause from the faithful inside Bankwest tonight.
Time off here. Looks a very sickening injury for Hoffman. He has collided with Mitchell Moses' knee and might have broken his cheekbone.

That sums up the Broncos half. They had an inch perfect kick, it bounced and propped right near the dead-ball. Ferguson grabbed it and the ensuing chase allowed him out then Brisbane give up a penalty.
Eels cutting them to pieces. Short ball to Manu Ma'u opened up the passage, he lobbed it to Reed Mahoney who can't handle the ball.

Time off! Michael Jennings has gone down in a heap here. The veteran centre is struggling, makes it back to his feet and should be okay to continue.
Eels pulling out the circus tricks in this set. Brown juggled, Ferguson displayed his kicking game and they force a dropout. Broncos have taken residence under the sticks.

Another sideline effort from Moses. He sneaks this one inside the right post.
More simple ball work gets the Eels third! Gutherson took the ball to the line, fired it to a pirouetting Jennings, the veteran slammed it down.
Different shape from the Broncos on last. Four passes right to left, ended with a weak kick that Ferguson ended up snaffling. Eels work it out.. easily with the aide of a PENALTY.
Time off again. Matt Gillett copped one right across the beak which produced a huge mess. He is taken from the field, making it two absences from the visitors bench.
A tougher second kick for Moses. Right on the sideline. He hooks it.
Wonderful rugby league from the Eels! Initially they swung it right then shifted it left. A few big passes gave Sivo enough space where the winger doesn't need much and he strolls over.

Broncos hand it right back with Jake Turpin trying a flick pass that rolled straight to an Eel.

Not been a happy start with the hands for Oates. First, he overran a pass in the last set which was called play-on, now he's dropped a routine bomb. Big chance for the Eels.
Some bright work from the Broncos in that set. Milford and O'Sullivan both took strong runs but the final kick from the Milf just wafted into the arms of Gutherson.

Eels have it on the tee! They will get us underway for a huge contest! KICK-OFF!
The light show is over! Here come the Broncos, wearing their honeycomb strip, trot onto the pristine surface of Bankwest. Can they turn their form around. Next out, to a raptourous reception is the Eels, who were challenged to 'fire up' from their coach, wearing their blue and yellow hoops! Game almost ready to go! Here we go!
Hope everyone caught their breath after the frantic final minutes of the 530 game! Now, we turn our attention to Bankwest! Parramatta look to continue their fine form at their new home, taking on Brisbane, fresh from their derby dismantling, as both sides aim to get back into the top eight. Neither team has any changes to their team. Maybe a change to their attitudes or structure after their pair of losses. It is a vital contest to finish off what has been a Super Saturday! Join us in a few minutes for kick-off!
