If this gets any sloppier, it'll start to resemble a coaching change at the Wests Tigers. I got millions of these

Walters with a pass that was comfortably forward
Reynolds converts and in doing so, moves past Andrew Johns on the all-time pointscorers list.

Taupau binned for his raised knee
Taupau with a knee-up - a hit up but with his knee raised as high as possible. Why? Who knows. Brain snap. There was a scuffle afterwards and Taupau has been put on report and binned.
Reynolds adds the extras
Broncos basically pulled a try from the depths of their backsides here. Carrigan with a hitup towards the middle is shut down, but he offloads over the top to Walsh who was surrounded, so he fired a long ball out to Staggs, who accelerated, straightened and got between two defenders and did just enough to get across the line and get the ball down for a try
Set Restart Broncos - 5m from Souths line and late in the set
SCRUM BRONCOS - 20m from Souths line
You know who drops the you know what from the restart. (Burgess with a knock-on)
