Corey Parker misses with the conversion but did make it 6-0 when they took an easy shot at goal in the 14th minute. Alex Glenn then made it 12-0 after scoring from a deft grubber from Ben Hunt.

We are underway at Suncorp Stadium! Broncos kick off.
Out come the Dragons onto Suncorp Stadium, they are $6 outsiders with the TAB.
St George's last win came in Round 3 where they defeated Souths 8-6. The halfback on that occasion was Josh McCrone...pressure will be on Benji Marshall if McCrone can steer them to a win tonight.
Welcome to Suncorp Stadium where the Brisbane Broncos host the St George Illawarra Dragons in what promises to be an exciting match up, with all the pre-match talk being about the Dragons lack of scoring points so far in 2016.
The Dragons have some late changes with star half Benji Marshall a late omission from the 17, replaced by Josh McCrone in jumper #18. Dunamis Lui also moves into the starting side in jumper #21 replacing Siliva Havili.
The Broncos have made no changes and are 1-17.
The Broncos go in strong favourites in this one, with seemingly everyone writing off the Dragons. Can you smell an ambush??
