10th hosting 1st.

Broncos are coming off a huge victory against the Cowboys where the likes of S'ua, Barr and Lavea dominated the middle while Newcastle got spanked by the Tigers.

The key will be replicating that performance from Townsville and giving the likes of Nikorima and Drew room to poke holes through the Knights defence in the middle which was very flimsy on Sunday.

Levi is a huge in for the Knights. They missed him last week and not only is he dangerous in his own right, he also compliments the likes of Lamb/Cogger who are very talented in their own right. In fact, I'd go as far to say that on their day they're right up there with Nikorima/Taylor as the best halves combination in the competition.

That's the key though, on their day. Unfortunately both are young and still need to learn how to back up and how to compete when things aren't going their way.
 
I never bother to check, but are the Monday games on Fox?
 
Nope.

Unless the Knights choose to stream the game, it won't be available to the public.
 
It really is disappointing that they don't at least stream the games.

I guess they're doing it in an attempt to get more people to the game.
 
Last week we looked slick. A very well oiled machine. looked nrl quality. I also liked what I saw from the 7. His passes are extremely wuick and give his outside men room to work with. Our 6 (jikorima I assume) put a nice chip over the top in the later stages to his winger to score. the sort of attacking kick we never see from our first grade team. They were all doing the 1%'s better than most NRL teams including ours. such as line speed/kick chase/kick pressure etc. I'd be shocked if we didn't win it this year.
 
Also read the piece on the young backrower S'ua running 280m on the stat sheet, pretty impressive. Also impressive was Tuttle first game back staking claim on 3 tries to his name. I hope they don't take the Knights easily though, they have the firepower in there to do some damage, especially at home.
 
Both teams 1-17.

Kick Off at 4:45pm
 
Nikorima may have broken the record for fastest try in the NYC.

If he doesn't at least play one NRL game for the Broncos I'm going to be a bitter grumpy old man.

Broncos 6-0 after a minute.
 
Must have made some quick ground to get that try
 
Berrell scores beneath the posts.

12-0 Broncos

15 gone.

Good start for the Broncos.
 
They should broadcast all NYC games on foxsports at least. Hell they manage to do that with the VFL FFS. You at the game [MENTION=1899]Big Pete[/MENTION] ?

Byrnes scores a 35m solo try to restore the Broncos lead.

18-6

27 gone.
 
Nikorima in again.

I wish I had @1910 as my Secret Santa.

If he could just burn me off a compilation of Jayden highlights I'd be one happy Broncos fan.

24-6 Broncos
 
Broncos carving the Knights up now.

Hipgrave crosses over for another meat pie.

30-6

45 gone.

The Broncos should be on their way to win #9.

And as I type this up Jarryd Dodd crosses over.

36-6 Broncos.
 
@brisbanebroncos: And that's 50! Paul Byrnes' second try makes it Broncos NYC 52 Knights NYC 6 with 10 mins to go
 
It would appear the new 7 if fitting in well.
