One of the only Knights players who has put in constant effort and can hold his head up high is Dane Gagai, who has been ruled out for the next few weeks with a fractured cheekbone. The Eels played a superb game and thumped a hopeless Knights side 39-2 on Sunday. As they always seem to do, they have started the season off strong and find themselves in third spot. Canterbury was ravaged by injury and Covid last week and squandered a 14-6 lead with only 20 minutes to go to allow the Broncos not only back in the match but handed them a 34-14 victory on a silver platter. Newcastle have been in very poor form, and last weekend they sank to a major low. Jared Waerea-Hargreaves and Victor Radley make their way into the starting 13, and Kevin Naiqama comes in for Daniel Tupou who is suspended for coat hanger-ing the Dragon's Mikaele Ravalawa. The Warriors put on a solid performance in the first half against Melbourne and were only down 14-10 at the halftime break. The Bulldogs keep putting in the effort, but just can't seem to convert it into wins. Thankfully for the Sea Eagles they welcome back some much-needed force with Marty Taupau and Sean Keppie both fit to return. Just sitting inside the top eight and coming off last round losses, Souths and Manly will each be looking to move further up ladder. Penrith will be looking to keep their unbeaten run this season intact, and I can't see that being a problem again the Titans. The same 17 will be running out for the Panthers this round, and why wouldn't they be? The Titans on the other hand are sitting on two wins and five losses and got trampled last round by the Cowboys 30-4.

The Broncos have fought for an impressive 16-7 win over the fourth-placed Sharks with Kotoni Staggs comfortably outpointing rival Siosifa Talakai.

Trailing 6-0 not long before half time, Te Maire Martin injected himself into a nice right-side move and fed a perfect ball to Staggs, who got rid of Talakai with a huge dummy then fended off Ronaldo Mulitalo to score in the corner. - The highly anticipated battle between two possible rivals for a NSW Origin centre berth, Siosifa Talakai and Kotoni Staggs, did not disappoint. Both came via some wonderful long left-to-right-to-left ball movement that separated the Sharks' defence and resulted in tries to Herbie Farnworth and Kurt Capewell to move to 16-7 ahead.

Kotoni Staggs thoroughly outpointed the in-form Siosifa Talakai as the Brisbane Broncos made a statement in a 16-7 upset win over the Cronulla Sharks.

A strong defensive effort from the Broncos has powered them to a 16-7 victory over the Sharks in their round 8 match at Suncorp Stadium.

The much-publicised clash of Staggs and Siosifa Talakai out wide certainly lived up to the hype, the Broncos centre defending aggressively and while only making the lone line break, that run resulted in a crucial try. Despite the loss the Sharks had a number of strong performers on the night, with Moylan and Will Kennedy amongst the best for their team with ball in hand, the fullback running for a game high 204 metres, while Blayke Brailey made 51 tackles in a tireless effort in defense. With only seconds left in the opening 40-minutes a Hynes field goal sent the Sharks to half time with a one-point advantage but that would be their last lead of the night, the two Broncos tries, scored by Herbie Farnsworth and Kurt Capewell, both down their left hand side of the field and at 16-7 the Cronulla team had it all to do.

Thursday night's NRL game was built as the personal face-off between State of Origin hopefuls Kotoni Staggs...

He had a picture of (Talakai) there. He's a quality player." "Trust me, you wouldn't want to see him in the sheds. And by full-time there was no question Staggs had won the battle. that was an incredible effort." A little bit of experience from Adam Reynolds helped.
