Brisbane are dominating the early exchanges.

They're forced a mistake and have the ball 20m out.

 

[Big Pete]

Taylor with a sneaky grubber forces a goal line drop out.

They looked a little clunky in that set.

 

[Big Pete]

Ball from Berrell!

Arrow scores and the Broncos lead 4-0 with a kick to come.

Good start from the boys

 

[Big Pete]

Terrible kick from Paia'aua that was a gimme.

 

[Big Pete]

Arrow throws a hospital pass to Taylor and Hoeter forces a mistake.

Taylor's been nervous so far.

 

[Big Pete]

Nikorima defuses a good kick and now the Broncos receive a relieving penalty.

 

[Big Pete]

That was a ridiculous leap from Tuttle.

He's been studying his Folau tapes.

That was a ridiculous leap from Tuttle.

He's been studying his Folau tapes.

Great effort

 

[Big Pete]

Intercept Taylor! Saved a try there.

I hate those AFL cross-field kick plays.

 

[Big Pete]

Ahhh! Opacic drops it after making a long break.

Should have turned defence into attack there. Brisbane just keep inviting the Tigers back.

 

[Big Pete]

Awesome strip from Adams there on Funaki. Salesi was looking ominous there.

Now the Broncos with a penalty.

 

[Big Pete]

That bounce was just cruel from Paia'aua

Goal line drop out to the Broncos

 

[Big Pete]

Too easy there for the Broncos. Pretty simple spread to Greinke and he steps then powers his way over.

Broncos 8-0

They're on attack again. Tuttle with another leap spooks Ogden and causes him to spill it.

 

[Big Pete]

Byrnes bombs a sitter.

Good grubber from Taylor but the Broncos just cannot kick clear.

 

[Big Pete]

Great hit from Drew, good work from Tuttle to bring the ball back into the field of play.

 

[Big Pete]

Omg...

Now Berrell gets caught in his own tackle on the last.
