The grubber on the last tackle! Murray Taulagi had a great chance but he can't ground it as an opportunity goes begging. Taulagi tried to bend down and pick it up instead of getting low or trying to ground it.

Adam Reynolds puts Gehamat Shibasaki through a gaping hole and he is away before being tackled 30 out by Scott Drinkwater in a great one-on-one tackle.
A six again and the Broncos have a full set and Adam Reynolds kicks on the FIRST! It is a try for all money but hits the posts and the Cowboys survive off a huge strike of luck. Selwyn Cobbo was there for the try if the post wasn't there.

Ben Hunt kicks on the third and he has the Cowboys defence caught out but the bounce isn't right and it goes into touch. Would've been a Jesse Arthars try otherwise.

The Broncos up 6-0 now.
Adam Reynolds confidently kicks on the third tackle and he finds his man!

The Cowboys have had almost all of the scoring opportunities so far... but a Sam McIntyre error invites the Broncos into the game now. Brisbane 40 out.
