FULL TIME - The premiers start continues in perfect fashion with their 28-8 victory over the Broncos
This is a game of the walking wounded; Jayme Fressard, Zahara Temara AND Tarryn Aiken all down on the ground; To go with Sarah Togatuki and Jess Sergis ruled out of the contest
Jaime Chapman gets away after a great catch but an ankle tap saves it for the Roosters
PENALTY BRONCOS: It was a late call but the Roosters penalised and 2 players on report for a dangerous tackle
Good kick from Zahara Temara puts the pressure on the Broncos and Hayley Maddick in particular
Plenty of concern for Sarah Togatuki after a very awkward landing in a tackle
Roosters want a 20m restart and Kasey Badger tells them that it's a goalline dropout and makes them get set before as they go to take it, the bunker steps in and rules 20m restart
Zahara Temara's conversion form the touchline comes off the upright and it's OVER - A great kick from the Roosters 6
Jayme Fressard was a Broncos last season but now in the tricolours - The Roosters winger has as a try and a beautiful pass from Zahara Temara to Fressard scores
Zahara Temara converts to push the lead beyond two converted tries
Olivia Kernick - She was our player to watch in our preview and she has a double and it's all good work from Destiny Brill and Raecene McGregor to set it up
Sam Bremner under pressure again but takes a great catch
Jess Sergis NOT returning this afternoon with a hamstring injury
Ali Brigginshaw misses the conversion
Tarryn Aiken had a poor first half but she is having a blinding start to the second half as she teases a pass and the Roosters defence waits for it but she goes through a gap in the defence
PENALTY ROOSTERS: A second effort from the Roosters just to try and slow momentum but it's penalised by Kasey Badger
Crowd not happy as Kasey Badger rules that she had already called held when the offload had come
PENALTY ROOSTERS: Sam Bremner hit high and although accidental there is nothing for Mrs Badger to do other than penalise it
Is this the same game as before? Brisbane playing with momentum and finding so much space
Jess Sergis is OFF the field at the moment not sure why as Sam Bremner was getting checked out as well
Brianna Clark's conversion doesn't start on line and hooks too far left
BRONCOS ON THE BOARD - Tarryn Aiken goes and it's all from the work of Julia Robinson who found space after the kick was knocked back by Shenae Ciesiolka to her teammate (more likely accidental) then Robinson gives it to Aiken to score
The Broncos over halfway now and up to the 30 but Ali Brigginshaw's kick is not a good one and chargedown by the Roosters
SECOND HALF IS GO! The Broncos will need to find something special to come back from three tries down to get their season going
Zahara Temara converts after the siren to lead 16-0; The same score the Broncos lead by in the semi-final
RAECENE MCGREGOR AGAIN TAKE A BOW - Sam Bremner has her first try since 2018 as Raecene McGregor goes through the line and splits the defence before finding Bremner who scores
Fressard juggles the Brigginshaw bomb but holds onto it despite the pressure of the coming chasers
Hayley Maddick with a nervous moment then as she lets the ball bounce and it gets big on her
Zahara Temara's conversion is waved across the face of the goals
THAT IS BRILLIANT - Raecene McGregor spots the overlap and she elects to put it on the boot after the pass is initially poor and the kick intended for Sergis bounces away from her but straight onto the chest of Olivia Kernick
Raecene McGregor goes straight through some tired Brisbane defence
Tarryn Aiken's kick was pretty poor and she regathers then loses it
Keilee Joseph is whacked hard by Amber Hall and loses the ball
PENALTY ROOSTERS: Sam Bremner almost gets through the Broncos line but then earns a penalty as Shenae Ciesiolka flops into the tackle and then stays there
Isabelle Kelly goes through into space and then throws an unnecessary offload that Kasey Badger rules forward to the dismay of the Roosters
PENALTY ROOSTERS: More ill-discipline from the Broncos who are inside the ten again; Penalty count now 5-2
The Broncos open the Roosters up but a great try-saver from Sam Bremner saves them before Tarryn Aiken loses the ball trying to go down the short side
Destiny Brill knocks on from dummy half
Kaitlyn Phillips loses the ball over her shoulder and knocks on
PENALTY BRONCOS: A much needed penalty as the momentum has truly swung to the Broncos at the moment
BUNKER: Amazing defence on Jess Sergis who looked certain to score, Tarryn Aiken holds her up and drives her into touch
Jayme Fressard gets over the line but is held up
Jaime Chapman loses the ball
Ali Brigginshaw ruled to have lost the ball by the bunker and it could've been called a strip but very hard to overturn on the live decision
BUNKER: Somebody swooped on on the loose ball - Looks like Nita Maynard but we've gotta check if there's a strip by Jess Sergis as to how Ali Brigginshaw lost the ball
PENALTY BRONCOS: There's a healthy and vocal crowd in at Suncorp Stadium and finally they get the penalty they wanted with a hold down ruled by Kasey Badger
Zahara Temara converts from close range
Destiny Brill gets the try confirmed as she gets her first for the Roosters
TRY TIME - Destiny Brill is over she goes from dummy half and the Roosters recruit gets down low and gets it down according to Kasey Badger
UNSUCCESSFUL CHALLENGE - There's just a fingertip on it from the Broncos
CAPTAINS CHALLENGE: "Shorty - Broncos are challenging the decision of a knock-on" the ruling of Kasey Badger is knocked on by Brisbane but they don't agree
PENALTY ROOSTERS: Kasey Badger is having a strict 10m this afternoon penalising the Broncos again
PENALTY ROOSTERS: Broncos players and fans want a knock-on ruled against Isabelle Kelly in the play-the-ball but Kasey Badger rules that the Broncos were offside
Ali Brigginshaw goes high with the kick but there's no pressure for Jayme Fressard at the back
Tarryn Aiken loses the ball close to the line as she almost broke through the defence
PENALTY BRONCOS: Tallisha Harden hit high and is penalised
Sam Bremner loses the ball as there are concerns with the ease and space the Roosters are finding though
Repeat set for the Roosters as Maddick has nowhere to go and is taken dead
PENALTY ROOSTERS: Second effort ruled by Kasey Badger and the Roosters get out of their own half
Tarryn Aiken's kick isn't what she wanted at the end of the first set as it goes out on the full
Strong first set for the Roosters with the ball and then just as strong in defence
GAME ON! Kasey Badger with the whistle and the Semi-Final rematch is GO!
