And it’s live!

 

[Big Pete]

O'Neil had such a good long kick in him - was like Lockyer 5 years before he rose in prominence.

 

[GCBRONCO]

O'Neil had such a good long kick in him - was like Lockyer 5 years before he rose in prominence.

Yeah he was the prototype for playmaking fullbacks like Lockyer, he just couldn't keep himself out of trouble no matter what club he went to.

 

[Big Pete]

Penrith all over Brisbane, finally earn their shot at the line and throw it all away with a sloppy offload and a cheap penalty from the scrum.

Then Brisbane score, classic Bennett rope-a-dope where they survive the early exchanges and respond with a try. I lost track of the amount of times Brisbane would do that in 2015-17.

Great play as well, Kerrod sparks it, I believe it was Matterson who changed the angle and Johns was just able to set it up.

 

[Foordy]

Cracker try from Carne

 

[GCBRONCO]

What a lovely play with Kerrod Walters showing what a true Dummy half's job is sending Johns into a lovely gap and sending Carne in for a try. Damn I miss the toe punter goalkickers like Matterson haha.

 

[Foordy]

it's been a while since i've seen that old toe poke goal kick, lol

 

[Big Pete]

Woah bit of a skip there, McCallum just gave a dud penalty to Penrith to bail them out of trouble.

 

[GCBRONCO]

That was no way a forward pass

 

[Big Pete]

Wow that 'forward' pass call from McCallum.

Hancock is having a strong game, took a great catch to keep Brisbane from working it out of their own corner and then made a strong run.

O'Neil with another great take.

 

[GCBRONCO]

wow O'Neill what a trysaver

 

[Big Pete]

Cartwright has been causing Brisbane some nightmares, clean straight through and O'Neil did well to clean that up in the in-goal.

 

[Foordy]

O'Neill really was a top quality fullback

 

[GCBRONCO]

Tell you what I would love to have a fullback like Juilian O'Neill(without the offield issues) in the present day Broncos side, exactly what we need.

 

[Big Pete]

Somebody needs to hook Hohn, first the miss on Cartwright now the simple error when Brisbane were on top.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Cartwright has been causing Brisbane some nightmares, clean straight through and O'Neil did well to clean that up in the in-goal.

Panthers really starting to step up now, making real dents in the Broncos defence.
