Staggs misses from out wide
Herbie goes over out wide. Great chase and finish
The big man drops if off the kick off.
Easy as you like
Well taken try from Waddell there. Dogs score late
Game has fizzed here. Dogs trying hard
Adam Reynolds off with a hand injury
Too easy from right in front.
It's party time now for the Broncos. Cobbo takes a chip kick, passes to Piakura who scores. This could be anything now
Burton kicks early and it does not come off. Story of the second half so far.
Brown knocks on. That was a poor last tackle option and Brown caught unaware.
Sailor kicks despite a five on two overlap and finds a Bulldog's chest. That should have been game over.
Broncos strolling through the middle here. Oh o.
Reynolds nails it from the side line. Broncos pulling away here.
Mam scores after a brilliant fifth tackle chip and chase from Reynolds. Mariner very cool in kicking ahead for Mam to score.
Burns officially ruled out for the Dogs.
Morrin held back after grubbering the ball but Ziggy says NO. Natural square up?
Penalty Dogs on the last. Lucky call??? On the attack here.
The makeshift centre knocks on. Last tackle, ten out so not the end of the world.
Knock on. Bulldogs ball.
Nu Brown (concussion sub) is on. Burns off. Dogs down on troops here.
Possible Preston try but the referee sends it up NO TRY. He's right too. Great call.
Blake Wilson with the HUGE play. Broncos looked in for all money but Wilson intercepts and runs 60 metres. Dogs on the attack.
Charge down from Preston but the Broncos regather and have six-more. Oh o.
Reynolds makes it look easy.
Willison scores the softest try you'll ever see ... but they all count. Dogs all at seat at marker as he dives over.
Sexton ruled out via failed HIA. Kyle Flanagan comes in to play halfback.
Hugely unlucky there for the Dogs. Mahoney knocks on. He has challenged ... and I don't know why
Second half underway and OH MY GOODNESS rough tackle
What an incredible half there. Both sides piling on the points. Dogs will enjoy a man advantage for eight minutes when they return. We'll be back in 10 minutes.
Broncos survive and take the ball dead. Time will tick away here before the drop out.
Forearm was raised. Cobbo in the bin.
Dogs ball but Sexton is down injured. Cobbo potential raised forearm here?
Reynolds misses a tough kick from the sideline. Again, the wind is making things very difficult.
What a ball from Sailor!!! Mariner scores in the corner. He's come onto the right wing and I believe that's his first touch.
Averillo with the save!!! Brilliant kick from Tristan Sailor. Averillo flies in to knock it dead. Drop out Dogs
18-all. Burton converts from in front.
AVERILLO DOUBLE!!! The points continue to flow here. TPJ puts Sexton through who sends his fullback over for his second try
Reynolds converts. This is fun
It's raining points at Belmore. Walters dives over from dummy half. Another try celebration too
Pangai Jr forces one too many passes and WIlson knocks on. Not good.
We're all square again here
WHAT A TRY FROM THE BULLDOGS!!! Multiple offloads and brilliant ball movement sees Averillo reach out and score.
Burton forces a drop out. Not much happening in that set but the number six was smart on the last. Chased it himself and forces the drop out
Enterprising play from the Dogs. They go right to left and back to the right again. Billy Walters knocks the ball down and Dogs will have a fresh set on the 10 here
Burns smashes Reynolds who loses the ball. Dogs on the attack.
Reynolds slots it from a difficult angle. Uses the wind and puts it over the black dot. Broncs in charge now.
Capewell strolls over. Reynolds with a magical ball and it's too easy for the Broncos. Capewell with the try celebration too. Brilliant stuff
Billy Walters takes a brilliant intercept. Mahoney looked set to put RFM over untouched but Walters snatches it out of the air. Broncos penalty to compound
Ball gets caught up in the wind and Staggs, despite a super effort, knocks it on
Straight down the middle from in front.
Adam Reynolds starts and finishes a brilliant move. He puts Piakura through, backs up and scores under the sticks. Brilliant from the veteran.
Penalty Broncos! They needed that.
Ezra Mam limping and looks uncomfortable. Thumbs up for now from the trainer
Reynolds tackled on the fifth. That wasn't great. Dogs have the ball in a good area here.
Skleton is a monster out wide. He's going to be a problem ... that is all. Teams going set for set here.
Dogs playing some expansive footy here. Break made down the left through Wilson but Cobbo does enough. Broncos end up with the ball but that was encouraging for the blue and whites
Burton makes a difficult kick look easy. Tough wind by all accounts. No problem for the superboot.
The Dogs are in early!!! Preston goes over from a beautiful pass from Reed Mahoney. Brilliant start!!!
Penalty Bulldogs - and the fans love it. Dogs on the attack early.
HUGE crowd on deck here. Both teams are on the ground and we're moments away.
Goood afternoon - and what an afternoon it is. Dan here from Rugby League Outlaws/Fins Up/Zero Tackle etc etc here to take you through the afternoon clash. A stunning afternoon at Belmore Stadium sees the Dogs take on the Broncos. Very much looking forward to this one. Kick off in approx 10 minutes
