Thought I'd set this thread up early as a reminder for fans and to generate some interest in this do or die game.

Should be a beauty.
 
Coverage starts on FoxSports in ~10 minutes for those watching.
 
Is there anyway to follow the score online? I'm at work and want to keep up with it.
 
Too easy there for the Dragons.

That run from Fonua-Blake really hurt us there and just gave them the numbers.

That's a bad try to give away.
 
Gee Nikorima looks awful under the high ball. Did the same thing last week under relatively no pressure.
 
He's generally good for one spilled bomb.

That forward pass call against Taylor was rotten.
 
Dragons bomb a try, but our left edge defence looks awful.

Is it just me, or is Jai Arrow a dead ringer for Simon Mannering? Not in terms of what their faces look like, but the running action and work rate are remarkably similar IMO.
 
That was bad from Drew.

He's been pretty decent in defence but that was a bad decision.
 
Good work from Nikorima and Opacic there.

Broncos are back baby.
 
Finally on the board through Opacic after good work from Kodi.
 
Good set after scoring.

They could have potentially scored tho.
 
Ofahengue scores a fairly soft try after fast dummy half work from our hooker. Something you'll never say about our NRL side.
 
That was a good run from McBryde in the lead-up and good work from Ofahengaue to force his way over close to the line.

12 all.
 
Poor kick from Taylor but great chase from Barr and Byrne to tackle him and force the error.
 
Boy, 3 of those calls against us in the first 20 were horrible, the forward pass against Taylor and the two "1 on 1 strip knock-on's" were all just plain wrong.
 
HT

Broncos 14
Dragons 12

Brisbane have done well to not only hang in there but lead. St. George played with plenty of bluster early and looked like going close on a number of occasions but the Broncos came up with some really good try saving tackles and I reckon it forced the Dragons into make errors as well.

Ofahengaue has once again been a big stand-out in the middle. Have also been impressed with McBryde & Opacic.
