FROM 50 OUT! BOY OH BOY WOWEEE!
Metcalf to win the game with the breeze at his back.
WALSHY HAS KICKED IT OUT ON THE FULL
OFF WE GO!
We are off to Golden Point.
JUGGLES THE BALL AND THEY WILL NOT GET A SHOT HERE THE BRONCOS!
BEN HUNT... YOU ARE KIDDING ME!
Brisbane are in range.
2 on 1 - touched by Kosi
He goes again... he misses it wide right.
Metcalf goes for it and it is charged down
Kobe Hetherington loses it but we have a challenge.
Reynolds converts.
That was one chaotic try! Kick goes through into the in-goal, there's more airswings than you see in a game of airhockey and Walsh grounds it.
VIDEO REF: Butler has NO TRY!
Edward Kosi has gone ice-skating...
Ben Hunt into dummy half with Billy Walters at six...
Placed on report for that one was Demitric Vaimauga.
PENALTY BRONCOS: Dangerous contact.
Great mark from Arthars.
Um... what was that from Ben Hunt.
Erin Clark has cramp
Good placement kick from Reynolds.
Reynolds adds the extras.
One chance is all the Broncos need. A beautiful pass from Walsh (yes he got into the game at last) to Arthars who still had some work to do and he goes over for the Broncos.
Warriors make a mistake coming out of yardage.
Off the upright and doinks out.
Brisbane saw the scoreline and began panicking and making rash decisions. On the end of a 9-3 penalty count against them, Marata Niukore charged straight through Jaiyden Hunt and Walsh to go over for the fourth try of the contest.
PENALTY WAHS: Tackle after held.
PENALTY WAHS: Reynolds kicks it out on the full!
No goal.
INTERCEPTED! Kurt Capewell with the pace on him... you are kidding me... he gets the pass back on the inside to Metcalf and he scores a beauty !
Still 22 minutes to go, but it feels like the Broncos pack have become a non event out here tonight.
Way too long from CHT!
Reynolds hit as he kicked it and the kick was pretty rushed!
Good set post points from the Warriors.
Waved away
To quote my dear friend Dan Ginnane, that play was discombobulated. Mitch Barnett went to take a hitup, saw the referee's arm up for last tackle, passed it back poorly to Taine Tuaupiki, he puts boot to ball. Brisbane's left edge came up and in and Edward Kosi goes over!
INCH PERFECT ! Luke Metcalf may have just nailed that 40/20 and he has!
Chanel Harris-Tavita blocks the kick, great work from Ali Leiataua - he knew he was offside, pulled out and CHT gets there first.
PENALTY WAHS: Inside 10m off the scrum.
Demitric Vaimauga drops that one
Now we have some bru haha
Quote of the night from Chris Butler "trust me it's not worth challenging"
Egan recovers the short dropout - but the ruling is a bat on for the Broncos.
Good kick from Metcalf, Selwyn Cobbo takes no chances.
Arthars spills it in the slippery slush.
Thankfully, he is okay
Now Wayde Egan is down... this is not good for the Warriors. Might have just been a small knock to his foot.
Walsh struggling out there still - he has only had the four runs out there.
Good mark from Taine Tuaupiki.
We're underway for the second half.
HT: Wahs 6 Broncos 6
Here they go the Broncos and Staggs gets the pass to Walsh but it goes forward... Chris Butler absolutely nailed that decision.
He's missed it!
They will go for two
PENALTY WARRIORS: Out of play - the refs are so good at picking these up and it is Xavier Willison who is pinned
Reece Walsh does the Dom Young approach to catch the ball.
Wahs recover it !
Brisbane force a goal-line dropout.
CRUNCHED! Adam Reynolds is sent back to Australia by Chanel Harris-Tavita!!
SET RESTART BRONCOS: Ruck infringement against Bunty Afoa.
Reynolds delivers a perfect kick for a 40/20
Good kick early in the count by Chanel Harris-Tavita but it sails over the sideline.
SET RESTART BRONCOS: Ruck infringement
Kickoff goes over the deadball line... oh no Adam Pompey!
Converted
After some football that left league fans desperate to return to the chocolates, the Warriors capitalised on some field position when Luke Metcalf isolated Jordan Riki and Leka Halasima goes over to score to get the Warriors on the board.
SIX AGAIN WAHS: Inside 10m.
PENALTY WAHS: High tackle on Jackson Ford.
Second effort from Gehamat Shibasaki is what the problem is with that tackle... commentators blowing up deluxe but it is the secondary action of Shibasaki that is the problem.
PENALTY WAHS: Ruling is the tackle completed and then they drive Taine Tuaupiki back.
Crash ball to Halasima and that one cannot be handled.
PENALTY WAHS: Obstruction
VIDEO REF BRONCOS: NO TRY from Butler, Xavier Willison goes through, but Pat Carrigan stops in the line. Decision is upheld.
PENALTY BRONCOS: Strong charge there from Staggs and wins his side a penalty as Reece Walsh has recovered.
Good grab under the high ball from Walsh.
Pat Carrigan will have a 12 month extension of his kicking licence. Probably the best kick Brisbane have put up tonight!
Ford spills it.
Selwyn Cobbo spills that one!
Walsh kicks early and that is a great save by Adam Pompey in his milestone. Brisbane are just stuck in neutral.
Kosi sticks the mit out but cannot come down with this one! Hunt had the numbers there but Kosi has a good read there.
Big charge from Xavier Willison.
PENALTY BRONCOS: Inside 10m.
PENALTY WAHS: Crusher tackle after Pompey is left on the deck. Walters is on report.
Ford loses it.
They go crash ball from Egan to Ford.
SIX AGAIN WAHS: Inside 10m.
Great grubber kick from Chanel Harris-Tavita and Ben Hunt cannot handle that one.
PENALTY BRONCOS: Too slow in the ruck.
SIX AGAIN WAHS: Inside 10m
SIX AGAIN WAHS: Ruck infringement.
Big touch there to save the try! Cobbo does a strong job to stop the Warriors attack in it's straps.
Carrigan spills it in the contact.
NO TRY UPHELD!
HOLD THE PHONE! Barnett is claiming a try, Ali Leiataua may have knocked it on! Liam Kennedy has been elevated to the Bunker.
Chris Butler coughing the lungs up over the ref mic out there... might need to find a buttermenthol at the break!!
PENALTY WARRIORS: Willison pinned for a hand in the ruck.
Walsh was getting extra strapping on his knee.
Reynolds adds the extras.
An early spillage under the high ball from Adam Pompey gave the Broncos an early opening. Billy Walters caught the Warriors asleep and they go over to score the first try of the game.
Brisbane on the attack!
WALSH IS GONE!!! HE IS IN MAJOR DISCOMFORT WITH A LOWER LEG INJURY!!
Adam Pompey gets us underway off the tee. Brisbane get first use and Reece Walsh gets an initiation back to New Zealand. As most would be aware, due to NZ gambling laws preventing casino or betting company sponsorship, the Broncos take us back to the SL War with names on jerseys.
As the rain intensifies - the Warriors come out in a Pasifica jersey as Adam Pompey leads out the team for game 100.
Referee is Chris Butler in NRL game 154. Dan Luttringer and Michael Wise are our sideline officials. Kasey Badger is in the bunker tonight. AJ Lucantonio (who is somehow still functioning) has our controls tonight.
We are set to blast back to 1995 for Round 7 Super Saturday as the Warriors host the Broncos from Go Media Stadium. The Warriors are fresh off their Melbourne horror show last week and are without several experienced players including James Fisher Harris and Charnze Nicol-Klokstad. Taine Tuaupiki is at fullback for CNK while Jackson Ford takes the big shoes of JFH. The team is 1-17 as named earlier in the week. For the Broncos, Billy Walters starts for Cory Paix while Xavier Willison starts for Jaiyden Hunt.
