Try: Broncos
Scored by Reece Walsh. Kick to come.

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.

Try: Warriors
Scored by Edward Kosi. Kick to come.

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!

Warriors lead Warriors 10 - 6 Broncos
50min

INCH PERFECT ! Luke Metcalf may have just nailed that 40/20 and he has!

Try: Warriors

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.

27min

3min

Brisbane on the attack!

1min

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.
