Ok finally. 26-12
Yeah, but I think it will be good for him to realise that he has a lot of work before he can expect to be promoted.
Burns looks like a goer! Great positioning and awareness in attack.
Livestream. Look at the Wynnum seagulls website for the link. I did just post it above but maybe you are using the app and can’t see it?
Funaki has less brains than a piece of driftwood. The most stupid errors.
Patrick Templeman looks a brilliant young fullback. Who’s he affiliated with?

Anthony Milford makes his NRL return as Brisbane defeat PNG Hunters 26-12 in Port Moresby
BRISBANE’s $1 million man Anthony Milford made a triumphant return as the Broncos overcame a scare to edge out the PNG Hunters 26-12 in Port Moresby.
Playing his first game following off-season surgery, Milford’s rebuilt shoulder withstood a barrage from the physical Hunters outfit before 15,000 rabid PNG fans at the National Football Stadium.
Wearing jumper No.14, Milford was protected early but he lifted the Broncos upon his injection, having a hand in two of Brisbane’s five tries during a slick 35-minute cameo.
Fielding a near full-strength side, the Broncos were expected to comfortably dispose of the Hunters, but the Intrust Super Cup premiers gave the NRL glamour club an almighty scare.

Buoyed by a partisan crowd, the Hunters stunned the Broncos to claim a 12-6 half-time lead, but the visitors lifted after the break with a four-try blitz.
Broncos caretaker coach Jason Demetriou said Milford was the difference, while hulking prop Matt Lodge, fullback Jamayne Isaako and back-rower Jaydn Su’A also impressed.
“Anthony will get a lot of confidence out of that,” Demetriou said. “He came on in the 20th minute and he was a class above, he organised us well and got us going in attack.
“His shoulder stood up well, it was the physical hitout ‘Milf’ needed.
“I wasn’t too worried at half-time. We dropped too much ball in the first half but we got our act together and I was really pleased with our attitude in the second half.”
Milford withstood heavy treatment from the physical Hunters.
The Broncos came flying out the blocks, winger Jonus Pearson taking a pass from Isaako and crossing in the corner for a 6-0 lead inside six minutes.
The Broncos bombed a try in the 12th minute, with five-eighth Sam Scarlett dummying his way through and inexplicably losing the ball as he attempted to touch down.
The error was a confidence-boosting moment for the Hunters, who sent the home crowd into a frenzy in the 25th minute when back-rower Enock Maki crashed over from dummy half.
The hosts then surprised the Broncos by taking the lead two minutes before the break. Attacking the Brisbane line, a PNG grubber kick ricocheted off two Broncos players and fell for halfback Watson Boas for a 12-6 half-time lead.
It was a sold out crowd in Port Moresby.
Facing the prospect of a boilover, the Broncos shifted gears in the second half, rocking the Hunters with three tries in the space of 11 minutes.
In the 48th minute, back-rower Alex Glenn crossed to whittle the deficit to two points before prop Korbin Sims touched down six minutes later to give the Broncos a 16-12 lead.
And when winger Jordan Kahu finished off an attacking raid in the 59th minute, the Broncos had some breathing space at 20-12. Back-row hopeful Corey Oates put PNG to bed with a four-pointer in the dying minutes.
