I’ve been one of isaako’s harshest critics but god damn has he got a wicked step. I’ve watched that kick return 10 times now and Jesus Christ... it’s faster than how Karmichael and prime benji used to do it. I’m sure it gave cooper Cronk cold sweats seeing it.

Who was just about to turn it off at 16 minutes? I was lol
Man, I was cut but for whatever reason I just kept watching slamming down the beers.
Cheers to the Broncos. A win is a win. I like Tyson Gamble's energy. The boys fed off it. How old is he?
Cheers Broncos HQ! I'm glad we can all take a breath this week :)

Where he is in his career means nothing when rating a performance.
I'm not denying how good he was in the last 60mins, it was the best I've ever seen him play. But his first 20mins was actually disgusting. I don't care how Kevvie wants to protect him in the press conference to keep his confidence high, he was out of position and was almost solely responsible for Titans scoring 22 points.

That and his time out of the game, it’s humbled him by the looks of things, it’s still early days, but he’s not the same player.

Sure buddy sure. I think someone else thought Isaako could be considered for MOM so there's at least two of us in South East Queensland. We're probably both bad judges though, hey?

Funny thing is, had this side turned up like this since the start of the season, we would have beaten the Eels and Titts R1/R2 and sealed the game against Penrith. We would be sitting at 5th on the ladder.

Yes. I'd agree with that. You'd be an excellent Dally M judge.

At 22-0 I screamed out ‘make a fucking tackle’ when they were behind the posts.
just want to say from that point on we won 36-6 so you’re welcome

It really is a great win. I don't want to get my hopes up to much too much but it does feel special the way we came back AND held on in until the end. Our team needed this type of win. We beat someone other than the Bulldogs! We are on the up and up.

Broncos pull off greatest comeback to stun Titans
Todd Balym
Friday 30th April, 2021
Kevin Walters’ halves gamble paid off as the Broncos produced the biggest comeback in club history with a 36-28 win to hand Gold Coast one of the most bizarre capitulations seen in the NRL in some time.
The Broncos coach recalled maligned $1 million man Anthony Milford and part-time electrician Tyson Gamble and they provided the spark that was needed as Brisbane turned a 22-0 deficit after just 14 minutes into one of the most remarkable wins of the season.
Brisbane scored 36 straight points after finally turning up to Suncorp Stadium when the game was 15 minutes old, the Titans enhancing their reputation as the Harlem Globetrotters of the NRL with dazzling attack and non-existent defence.
Milford had a hand in two tries while Gamble was the steady leader the Broncos have needed in the No.7 jersey, setting up attacking plays by digging deep into the defence line to create space for his outside men.
Gamble, 24, was playing just his fourth NRL game since his debut for Wests Tigers in 2018 and may just be the man to lead the Broncos for the rest of the season so impressive was his performance after Walters axed Brodie Croft and Tom Dearden.
Broncos fullback Jamayne Isaako finished with two tries and 20 points in the ultimate rocks and diamonds game after he was nowhere to be seen as the Titans scored their first three tries from grubber kicks in the first 11 minutes of the game.
A 95-metre intercept try by Corey Oates shortly after half-time proved a decisive moment as the Broncos edged ahead before former Titan Jesse Arthars put the Broncos two tries clear when Gamble and Isaako created space on the right edge.
The Titans had two tries denied within a minute to David Fifita and Brian Kelly before Mitch Rein scored to give the Gold Coast a chance at 36-28 going into the final 10 minutes, but this rollercoaster game had finally run out of twists and turns.
Gold Coast’s capitulation from a 22-0 lead will give coach Justin Holbrook more sleepless nights as the Titans have now conceded 112 points in three successive losses to Manly, South Sydney and now Brisbane.
For Walters it was a welcome pressure release by his men who’ve been accused of giving up far too easily but instead completed the club’s greatest comeback.
The previous best had come against Canberra in round eight, 2006 when the Broncos' last premiership-winning team recovered from 18-0 down to win 30-28 at Suncorp.
It was the most bizarre first half of the season, eight tries in 40 minutes as both clubs attacked with reckless abandon and didn’t bother showing up in defence.
The Titans started like absolute world beaters. They had two tries in just five minutes and 15 seconds as Kevin Proctor and Corey Thompson pounced on sublime grubbers from Ash Taylor and Jamal Fogarty.
AJ Brimson was next across the stripe, the Titans' third try in just the 12th minute coming off another Fogarty grubber as Broncos fullback Isaako was left floundering in no man’s land.
When the Titans scored off the very next set, with Tyrone Peachey putting Brimson into space then getting the ball back to score the Gold Coast led 22-0 after just 14 minutes and the Broncos were headed towards rock bottom embarrassment against “little brother”.
But then, something strange happened, it was almost as if the two teams traded jerseys as the Broncos started to play football and the Titans became turnstiles.
First it was Herbie Farnworth who scored after Milford combined with Isaako, then Isaako crossed from a no-look Milford ball where new halfback Gamble took the ball deep into the line to create space.
Suddenly, with two tries in just five minutes, the Broncos were back in the contest and trailed 22-12 after only 22 minutes. Six tries in the game after just 22 minutes of football. Neither side has scored so freely at training, let alone on game day.
When Brimson was sin binned for a professional foul on Gamble just before the half hour, the Broncos had a whiff of ascendency and they pounced with Xavier Coates scoring a near length of the field try after Isaako cut through feeble Titans defence on a kick return.
Isaako then had his double just before half-time with Tevita Pangai Jr involved twice in the play as the Broncos fullback completed a rocks and diamonds opening 40 minutes.
The Titans were shellshocked having seen their perfect start to the game, and 13 from 13 completions, undone by 21 missed tackles coming just a week after they conceded 30 points in the second half fadeout to South Sydney.

Kennedy deserves to keep his spot. I thought he had a real dig and should be in the 17 again next week.
