[Brocko]

Leilua has had good impact since he came on here. Great offload

 

[Brocko]

Val misses the conversion from basically right in front. Jesus christ

 

[Mightybroncs2k17]

3 certainties in this life:

1. Death
2. Taxes
3. Joey talking up Kalyn Ponga and the knight's. Regardless of the opponent, the scoreline, or if the man himself is on the field.

 

[BroncsFan]

****ing lol... imagine that being the deciding play... ****ing NRL

 

[Brocko]

No way

 

[Brett Da Man LeMan]

The knights nearly found a way to lose that

 

[Brocko]

"Thank **** it was Kyle Flannagan" echoes across the Knights coaching box as they chuckle and smile immediately after the 2 point win

 

[JayPee]

The game has completely changed the last few weeks. Straight after the players association blew up.

 

[Brocko]

Kodi is in lovely touch right now. Great pass

 

[BroncsFan]

Stone's leg is out whilst touching his hand

 

[Super Freak]

That was a great effort from Toa to score there.

 

[Brocko]

Not great defence but fair play Toa getting to the line

 

[Brocko]

Great line Lemuelu

 

[Super Freak]

Try gone begging there.

Isaako butterfingers.

 

[Super Freak]

Nice try Fuller.

That's game.

 

[Krampus]

Try gone begging there.

Isaako butterfingers.

He is better with his feet than his hands.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Dolphins are playing really good footy. Appear to be very well coached and have superb depth. Fun to watch too.
