Has the game started?

 

[user_nat]

Kick off just happened.

Brisbane nearly trapped in goal. We get penalty.

 

[Kimlo]

Not an ideal start.

 

[user_nat]

Sorta looks like Sandcorp is back.

 

[user_nat]

Jack Reed pushes Bani out after a Lockyer bomb.

 

[user_nat]

Jack Reed scores off a Lockyer pass. Straight pass Willie Tonga.

Great stuff.

Parker with his first miss for the year.

 

[Kimlo]

Jack Reed!!! Freaking brilliant!
Lockyet sharp as ever

 

[user_nat]

Brisbane has a pretty shakey set in defense, short kick defused by Hoffman. Hoffman darts 15m up the field and earns a penalty.

Gillett drops the ball after getting a whack from Matt Scott. Scrum.

Lockyer looks like a zombie, bleeding face. Got hit in the head by Parker.

14m - Cowboys first penalty

15m - Beale forces an error from JT.

 

[Kimlo]

Nice hit from Beale to force a knock on from JT

 

[user_nat]

3 fairly good offloads from Tronc now, all result in negative metres though..

 

[user_nat]

Gagai thinks he is playing union. Drops the ball behind him.

Cowboys score. Sad goal line defense.

6 - 4 to the Cows.

 

[Kimlo]

That was weak defence and a very bad mistake by gagai to try and pass when it just wasn't on.

 

[user_nat]

That was an interesting play off the kick from the Cows. Good stuff.

Even better tackle by Reed.

 

[user_nat]

Is Yoh Yeh playing?

Broncos attack have nothing.

McCollough has no idea what to do, decides to drop the ball.

Cowboys in. Bani = faster than Lockyer.

12 - 4

 

[PETERN]

Sounds very disappointing thus far, no where to watch live unfortunately over here in sydney, is there a radio link anywhere???

3 fairly good offloads from Tronc now, all result in negative metres though..

Not very good offloads then were they...

So what was all that talk about Lockyer getting his speed back?

He did just chase down an intercept from Graham.
