80min

Try: Broncos
Scored by Billy Walters. Kick to come.

Paix and Walters combine for Thursday night delight courtesy of the Broncos. Graceful grubber kick gliding across the battered Suncorp deck.

Broncos lead Broncos 40 - 18 Bulldogs
78min

For just a moment.. I thought Payne Haas was lining up for a 2-point field goal.

77min

Penalty Goal: Broncos
Kicked by Selwyn Cobbo.

Cobbo takes care of the kicking with Reynolds off the field, appears to be just a burner. Hopefully for Brisbanes sake, he will be okay.

Broncos lead Broncos 36 - 18 Bulldogs
74min

Reynolds shoulder finally gives way from that opening try. He heads from the field, Walters enters the game for the final 5.

72min

Kicked by Stephen Crichton.

Crichton 3/3, 8 minutes to play.

Broncos lead Broncos 34 - 18 Bulldogs
72min

Try: Bulldogs
Scored by Bronson Xerri. Kick to come.

Peach of a pass from Hayward, Kikau handing it off the Xerri for some more consolation.

Broncos lead Broncos 34 - 16 Bulldogs
71min

Possession starting to even up in the second half. Just a dozen missed tackles for the Broncos is very impressive.

69min

Dogs lead the second half 12-0!

68min

Few errors creeping into the Broncos game now. You'd have to say the job was done at halftime, but Madge would hate to see the errors pile up.

65min

Just a thought. I feel the team that forces the dropout needs more of a reward with this short dropout. maybe change that the dropout can't go less than 20 metres? Or if the Broncos force the dropout, if they get the ball back it's a zero tackle?

63min

Ball to the Bulldogs off the short drop out, but Staggs shoots up and forces the error.

59min

Conversion: Bulldogs
Kicked by Stephen Crichton.

Crichton converts and makes it back to back

Broncos lead Broncos 34 - 12 Bulldogs
57min

Try: Bulldogs
Scored by Jacob Preston. Kick to come.

What a leap from Kiraz! Certainly could be in a sky blue jumper if Lomax is not fit for Game 1. Preston supports through the middle for the try.

Broncos lead Broncos 34 - 10 Bulldogs
55min

Unsuccessful challenge for the Dogs sees the Broncos with the footy in their own Westpac Redzone.

53min

Video ref no try, Jensen off side and touches the ball.

53min

Marcelo Montoya makes for the 3rd man in the bin for the Dogs in the match. This will get ugly..

50min

Penalty against Tupouniua for a knee lift! Back from the 10 minutes off the field.

48min

For what it's worth, the rain has gotten very light. For now..

47min

Conversion: Bulldogs
Kicked by Stephen Crichton.

Crichton bangs it over from touch. Reduces the deficit to 28.

Broncos lead Broncos 34 - 6 Bulldogs
47min

Try: Bulldogs
Scored by Marcelo Montoya. Kick to come.

Silky movement to the left sees Monty to the line. Surely they couldn't.

Broncos lead Broncos 34 - 4 Bulldogs
43min

The most important fact in this second half. NO TEAM has conceded 50 and gone on to win the premiership.

41min

Second half underway!

40min

Wowza what a half. What on earth do the Bulldogs do in the second half? Keep up to date to find out!

38min

Walters leaves for a HIA, Burton has returned to the field. We may not see Reynolds in the second half.

35min

Busy night on the keyboard tonight let me tell you. Tupouniua is off for 10, same as Curran. Could we be looking at 40-0 at the break?

34min

Conversion: Broncos
Kicked by Adam Reynolds.

Reynolds makes the most difficult so easy, 2 more points.

Broncos lead Broncos 34 - 0 Bulldogs
34min

Try: Broncos
Scored by Jesse Arthars. Kick to come.

We are all breathing in the big ones here.. can we call it the Monsoonal Massacre? Arthars down the touchline and in the corner.

Broncos lead Broncos 32 - 0 Bulldogs
30min

Reynolds can literally do no wrong.. 40/20 kick Jamie Soward will be getting the Krispy Kreme glaze going at half time!

29min

Conversion: Broncos
Attempted by Adam Reynolds.

Tough miss for Reynolds. Off the post and out.

Broncos lead Broncos 28 - 0 Bulldogs
29min

Try: Broncos
Scored by Deine Mariner. Kick to come.

Game plan design has been executed to perfection, winger races in and Reynolds chips it onto the chest of Mariner for a double.

Broncos lead Broncos 28 - 0 Bulldogs
26min

Important to note that Canterbury beat Brisbane 41-16 last time these sides met at Suncorp in front of 40,000. They did not forget it.

23min

How the tides have turned. How do you beat the Bulldogs? Just play their own game against them.. Fast, Physical & using the conditions to suffocate the Dogs.

21min

3 tries in the time that Curran has been off the field. He needs a herculean effort to bring the Dogs back into this one.

19min

Conversion: Broncos
Kicked by Adam Reynolds.

Reynolds with a kicking clinic! 3/3 in the wet

Broncos lead Broncos 24 - 0 Bulldogs
19min

Try: Broncos
Scored by Gehamat Shibasaki. Kick to come.

Yes, there's a bit of luck in that. But great compete from Hunt on the catch. Early ball to Cobbo, pass to Shibasaki for the score.

Broncos lead Broncos 22 - 0 Bulldogs
17min

From bad to worse for Canterbury, Burton from the field after contact on Cobbo. Time for a HIA will update when we hear more.

Huge momentum shifter from Reed Mahoney to force the turnover! Dogs with a chance after a Broncos penalty.

Reynolds back on with the tee and slots it from touch.

Just like that! After a sweeping run from K.Staggs, Reynolds with the ball on a string finds Mariner with ease from a cross kick. Keeping up with the clock!

Broncos lead Broncos 16 - 0 Bulldogs
11min

No attempt to wrap with moderate force from Curran on Haas. He heads to the sin bin for 10 minutes off the field!

11min

Conversion: Broncos
Kicked by Selwyn Cobbo.

Cobbo takes the goal kicking reigns and adds the extras.

Broncos lead Broncos 12 - 0 Bulldogs
10min

Try: Broncos
Scored by Adam Reynolds. Kick to come.

Rugby league in 2025! Prop, to prop, to halfback for the try underneath the sticks for Reynolds. The halfback holding onto his right shoulder a cause for concern.

Broncos lead Broncos 10 - 0 Bulldogs
8min

Sexton finds Arthars on the full in the Bronx ingoal. Then giving away a penalty. Brisbane in the half of the Dogs once again.

6min

Isn't that a sigh of relief for the Bulldogs. The man into the run on side Piakura puts it down. Great pressure from the inside. Dogs earn a penalty and march down field.

5min

Dude... thats an awesome kick from Walters. Tracey slightly out of position and the hooker strikes!

4min

Conversion: Broncos
Kicked by Adam Reynolds.

Reynolds slots it to start.

Broncos lead Broncos 6 - 0 Bulldogs

1min

Early error from the early shift. Chance for the Broncos early

1min

Really does make the hairs stand up on the arms! We have kickoff from Suncorp.

As for Brisbane, Cobbo lines up at fullback. Intrigued to see if Hunt remains at Five-Eighth throughout the contest. Paix and Smoothy once again off the bench. Could see some swapping between Hunt and Walters at some point.

Bulldogs in the Heritage strip tonight, this should be a tough homecoming for Brisbane. Keen to see the defensive pressure on display for Canterbury.

Welcome to Thursday Night footy! There will be a moments silence for the ANZAC Day weekend. Dogs looking to keep this unbeaten run to the season, as for the Bronx they look to banish their ugly loss in NZ to the Warriors, and to do so without fullback Reece Walsh.
