[Big Pete]

Couple of big ins for the Broncos. Both Arrow and Pearson have recovered from the injuries they suffered against the Sea Eagles and they'll take their place while Tuttle and Drew return bolstering the backline which was looking very skinny. No word on what's happened to S'ua and the Broncos will have to wait until after the Under 18s Origin to assess whether Hipgrave, Lanskey and Molo will be right to play.

This is a very winnable game for the Broncos, but they've got to be weary of Melbourne who are a very hot and cold team. Plenty of talent on display but they're still rough around the edges. They've named one of their stronger sides, no word on changes from their heavy loss from last night but I'm sure they'll be looking for a strong start against the Broncos.

Really hope number 11 for Melbourne makes it to the NRL :laugh:

Young guns are on fire. 44-6 at halftime.

Hope the boys can go on with it. 78-0 is the highest score ever on the NYC.

They should be able to, sounds like they are ripping them a new one.

 

[ivanhungryjak]

50-6 ten minutes into second half.

 

[noisetheory]

74-6 full time

Highest score or highest margin? I would have thought there would have been a few games with combined scores in the 80s at least.

78-0 is the biggest winning margin. Brisbane's win today is equal-second biggest. Highest scoring match is 96 points (Penrith beat Newcastle 64-32).

Highest score and margin. Panthers v Tits in 2012. That's NYC only, don't forget.

 

[Unbreakable]

Can't find the list of try scorers / stats, anyone got it?

 

[Big Pete]

BRISBANE BRONCOS 74 (Pearson 3, Dodd 2, Tuttle 2, Barr, Arrow, Ofahengaue Berrell, Drew, Hipgrave; 11/13 goals) defeated MELBOURNE STORM 6 (Galo try; Mason goal)

Judging from the article.

Young Broncos Rout Storm - Broncos

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Good lord, our juniors are like a 3 course meal for Bennett and Walters at the moment. They don't know which ones they should try first.

 

[Unbreakable]

Keegan Hipgrave 11/13 goal kicking as a prop? Get him into first grade!

 

[Big Pete]

There's a semi colon before the goals section.

I'm unsure who kicked and whether they shared the kicking duties.

 

[Unbreakable]

Damn, you have no idea how much I want us to sign / find a goal kicker who can consistently kick at 85% or so, like A.Reynolds & Sezer.

That's the only thing I hate about our current roster, Parker is low 70's for his career and Kahu who is our back up struggles to even get the distance from the side line.. If we want to have a genuine chance at winning some premierships I think that's the primary thing we should be looking for in the off-season.
