[Big Pete]

The game is underway.

 

[Big Pete]

I reckon Byrnes would have let that go dead.

Broncos struggling to get out of their own half, before a nice offload from Arrow gets Jordan Drew to the half-way line.

 

[Big Pete]

Aupouri slices right through the middle but bombs a certain try after throwing a loose pass that went behind Niukore.

Brisbane recover nicely as they work it out of their own half. Pearson did extremely well to link up with Drew, but Drew's pass was taken by the Warriors chasers. Warriors on the attack.

 

[Big Pete]

Warriors force a repeat set.

Abbey was a mile offside but the Broncos fail to challenge the call.

 

[Big Pete]

Broncos do well to survive and are beginning to look dangerous with the ball in hand.

 

[Big Pete]

Off a penalty, Abbey dabs one through, Te Rupe slips over and Ulberg claims the try.

Warriors 4-0 kick to come.

 

[Big Pete]

Broncos force a mistake off the kick off, but it comes to no avail as Brimson kicks out on the full on the last.

It was a real nothing set for the Broncos. Really struggling to create anything as it's all coming down to Berrell and Brimson, and no one is ready for S'ua's offloads.

Now Abbey puts on a huge shot on Russell after a smart grubber from Berrell.

End to end stuff, as Lanskey chases down the winger and forces a mistake as the Warriors looked like they were about to score.

S'ua is having a strong game. Russell can't get enough of him at the moment.

 

[Big Pete]

Arrow does extremely well to score right next to the uprights.

Broncos 6-4 after 20.

Tuttle with the conversion.

 

[Big Pete]

Fai drops it on the set after scoring points and after conceding a fifth tackle penalty, the Warriors shift left and NSW Cup Five Eighth Hingano finds Tyrell who scores.

Warriors hit straight back.

8-6 Warriors kick to come.

 

[Big Pete]

Barr drops a simple pass just as the Broncos looked close to scoring.

Warriors work it up field and earn a cheap penalty off Pelasia.

 

[Big Pete]

Warriors have huge numbers down their left and Tevaga scores a simple try down the fringe.

Warriors 14
Broncos 6

 

[Big Pete]

Warriors challenge the call, and they'll have a set 10m out from the Broncos line.

 

[JoeldTrafford]

Would have loved to see a closer to full strength broncos team in this one

 

[Big Pete]

Off a repeat set, the Warriors go left and Tyrell scores again.

Warriors 20
Broncos 6

38 gone.

 

[Big Pete]

Second half underway.

Broncos go close early, but they simply don't have the last play options.

Meanwhile the Warriors have Abbey and Hingano among others to call on.

It's been the difference.

 

[Big Pete]

Off another penalty, the Warriors score a soft try from dummy half.

Collins and Gee both caught out.

Pearson can't cover.

26-6 Warriors 48 gone.

 

[Big Pete]

Fantastic cover tackle from Drew.

The game maybe all but over, but some Broncos are really putting their hands up here.
