Again it is Reece Walsh and Ezra Mam especially with his speed that seems the most likely to break this game open for the Broncos.

Penrith really slowing down things well here. Have cleaned up the discipline too. One try for the Panthers may break it open. Jarome Luai looks the most likely with his footwork.

Walsh with a well-weighted kick and he forces another dropout.
It breaks down on the last tackle for Brisbane but Ezra Mam breaks through the middle and then kicks for Jock Madden who chases after it. Brian To'o has it covered but drama here - Madden has done a hammy!
Back underway!
HALFTIME! Brisbane's brick wall defence the highlight. The Broncos look like they have more points in them. Penrith lacking execution and looking a bit sideways in attack.

A nice crafty kick initially it looks from Brad Schneider on the last but it takes a bounce and goes dead.
Payne Haas lets Penrith off the hook with a poor error.
Brisbane could land a big blow before halftime here. 30 out.
Momentum turner? Deine Mariner concedes a penalty on the first tackle. The Panthers had been going through the motions at that point... but wait on. Penrith don't find touch!
Jarome Luai with a horrible last tackle kick and it is a seven tackle set.
At the moment it looks like as well as Penrith is playing the possession game the premiers aren't going to get this done if they don't show a bit more creativity and juice in attack. The Broncos just look to have more speed and game-breakers to go with their impressive defence.
Walsh kicks it.
Too much pace and the fullback burns them!

Mitch Kenny scoots out of dummy-half but looks to be held up. He is taken high though. Another penalty.
