Can Kevin Walters' battling Broncos put the “shoe-gate” scuffle behind them and upset a Roosters side coming off a big win against the Cowboys?

Walker converts to put the Roosters in front for the first time. Walker converts from out wide, despite the crowd from his home state heckling him big time. 75th minute: TRY! Manu somehow muscles his way over from dummy-half again to level the scores. Roosters 24-20 77th minute: Walker lays on a try for Tupouniua with a superb grubber kick near the line. Full-time: Said miracle almost happened after Corey Oates scored his third try and the Broncos were attacking the Roosters line as the siren sounded.

Joseph Manu has won a battle of the centres against Brisbane's Kotoni Staggs as the Sydney Roosters won an NRL thriller 24-20 at Suncorp Stadium.

They came out and lots of guys had their best games of the year tonight and I loved it from our factor,” Roosters coach Trent Robinson said. “I loved the game. After Oates had opened the scoring in the 19th minute, Staggs stole the show with a brilliant individual try in the 35th.

The Roosters came from behind to snatch a late 24-20 win against an impressive Broncos outfit at Suncorp Stadium on Friday night.

As a team we played really well and you've got to learn to win in lots of different ways in rugby league. You can put your foot to the floor and gap a team but you have got to win uncomfortable as well and I felt like early in the season for us, trying to find our new our new self, that was a great way to win a footy game": Roosters coach Trent Robinson. Joey Manu carried the Roosters home with two individual tries that highlighted his sheer determination and will to win. We didn't do a whole lot wrong in that second half, I didn't think. We only got two good ball sets in the second half, apart from that I thought defensively we were good. Joseph Manu got two tries from dummy half so that is an area we can get better at but he is a really good player.

Leading into this season, the continued dominance of Brisbane was presumed by most pundits. But their semi-final loss last week is a positive for the game.

But this year, what has helped take the Dragons to the next level under new coach Jamie Soward is new talent. But what it didn’t take into account was the other players and the new talent that would be discovered. The Broncos’ women were criticised by many during this period; being called selfish for being so focused on staying together and questioned for being unwilling to make a sacrifice. Some players agreed and made the choice to move for the ‘good of the game’. Others did not. When the three new teams for the competition were announced in June last year, a mad scramble ensued. After being crowned premiers for the first three seasons, the Broncos were beaten by the Sydney Roosters in last week’s semi-final.

Roosters centre Joseph Manu has carried his side to a come from behind 24-20 victory over the Brisbane Broncos at Suncorp Stadium tonight.

The ball then careered away from the Roosters and bounced perfectly for Oates to score his hat-trick with minutes remaining on the clock. It set the scene for young Queenslander Sam Walker to convert from the sideline to put the Roosters in front. With the game seemingly in the Broncos favour, the Roosters own superstar centre Manu again barged his way over from dummy half to score his second try.

They are furious the Roosters.”

'A catastrophic blow': Ennis' warning to Broncos as Kevvie says Haas 'didn't do a lot wrong'

“They had a few dramas in the week and those were put to bed by their performance. “It will be such a blow for Brisbane if he doesn’t remain at the club long-term. “I don’t know whether he will be, I really don’t,” Ennis said of a potential suspension for Haas. “The plan was to play him in that first 40 and he got through that pretty well. Michael Ennis believes if the Broncos lose Payne Haas to a rival club it will be catastrophic for the club as Kevin Walters revealed he doesn’t expect his star prop to be suspended. “He is a very strong character.

Reynolds converted from the sideline to set up at 16-12 lead after 60 minutes. The Broncos kept coming when Oates charged onto another Reynolds kick to score his hattrick with two minutes to go and set up a grandstand finish, with repeated shots at the Roosters line in the dying seconds being repelled. And Cobbo almost scored in the 32nd minute when a chip kick from skipper Adam Reynolds bouced wickedly away from Roosters fullback James Tedesco, only for Cobbo to spill the ball over the line.
