Broncos

Fullback Tesi Niu was again a standout in his second game back from a hamstring injury, running for 225 metres from 18 runs and making 7 tackle breaks, while ...

Reynolds converted from the sideline to make it 6-6 at the break. Toby Sexton converted to make it 6-0 in the 29th minute. Brisbane then showed resolve of their own to find a way through the Titans defence on the stroke of halftime, shifting the ball nicely to the right to release winger Jordan Pereira, who kicked ahead and had backrower Jordan Riki fight hard to win the ball just short of the line.

The Broncos - missing State of Origin quartet Corey Oates, Pat Carrigan, Kurt Capewell and Selwyn Cobbo as well as injured pair Payne Haas and Cory Paix - ...

Phillip Sami believed he had got the Titans level in the 70th minute after getting on the end of another Toby Sexton grubber but replays showed the centre lost control of the ball just before grounding it and the try was ruled out. An error by David Fifita gave the Broncos the chance to bounce back and they didn’t waste the opening, Jordan Pereira bouncing over the line in the 49th minute. Despite Brimson being reined in 25m from the try line, Gold Coast made the most of their field position when Tanah Boyd pounced on a Toby Sexton grubber to score.

Broncos win that sums up Kevvie's 'massive achievement'; legends make call on Holbrook: 3 Big Hits.

“In terms of Holbrook, some of the youth and tinkering they did, I think it worked tonight, whilst they didn’t get the victory that’s the positives they’ll take out of it. “The Titans - they were terrific, they really were. “We spoke about wanting to push for that top four. “So to be able to get results without them in the team, it’s pleasing and now we can focus on the back half of the year and push towards that top four.” “We praise all the players but I think the coach deserves a lot of that as well.” On the verge of being a lock for semi-finals - that is a massive achievement and Kevvie as a coach, he needs a lot of praise for it. “We spoke about wanting to push for that top four and we’ve had this last couple of weeks to give our blokes a rest, the boys that have played Origin,” he said. “Holbrook has enough history in the way that he can coach that I think the biggest thing for them to improve is to get back to playing finals next year is emulating in training where they make decisions under pressure so they can come up with the right call.” “I think he’s got enough runs on the board, what they did last year really helps, for me the biggest improvement for the Titans is they need to get smart decision makers in crucial positions to be able to know when to make the right call at the right time,” Holbrook said. There was a lot to like about the players and the performance, just not the performance,” Holbrook said. To be able to get results without our Origin players is pleasing and now we can focus on back half of the year,” Reynolds said on Fox League. The Gold Titans stunned the high-flying Broncos with the opening tries of each half, but a 54th minute try to Reynolds proved the difference.

The Broncos all but secured a finals berth and maintained their hope of finishing in the top four after a 16-12 defeat of the Titans.

When that happens, I don't know but we are heading in the right direction for all of that to take place," - Broncos coach Kevin Walters. The goal of ours, in the atmosphere at the Broncos, is to win premierships and that is what we are about as a club. We just lack a bit of confidence, we have come so close so many times. "We came as close as you can get without winning a game of footy, that's for sure. The Titans held the Broncos out for more than 39 minutes but winger Delouise Hoeter found a way through the defence on the last tackle of the first half after reaching for a long Adam Reynolds pass to level the scores at 6-6 at the interval. Another fumble by the Titans secondrower as he attempted to play-the-ball led to Reynolds crossing to bring up his 2000th premiership point after backing up a break by Tyson Gamble to put the Broncos ahead for the first time in the match.

Brisbane Broncos halfback Adam Reynolds joined the 2000-point club as his side defeated the Gold Coast Titans.

Reynolds played his 244th match in the win over the Titans and, pending fitness, will run out for his 250th game when the Broncos meet the Eels in Brisbane in round 24. Reynolds became the eighth man in history to register 2000 career points as the Broncos, now placed fifth on the ladder, collected a vital win in their push for a top-four berth. Marquee Brisbane recruit Adam Reynolds joined a special band of players as he steered the Broncos to a 16-12 win over the Titans on Saturday night, cracking the 2000-point club in a gripping affair on the Gold Coast.

The undermanned Broncos edge the Titans 16-12 on the Gold Coast, while the Sea Eagles and Roosters enjoy convincing wins to boost their respective finals ...

The Dragons scored first while they were a man down but Manu's second try from dummy half was the impetus for a five-minute surge that produced two more tries for the Roosters and ultimately sealed the win. Five minutes later, Manu forced a drop-out with a kick to the in-goal area, and made the most of the ensuing field position by barging over from dummy half. The Roosters' hopes of working back into the match were dealt a blow when Smith injured knee, forcing Manu to shift between the halves and the outside backline. Hunt brought his State of Origin heroics to the Central Coast, spinning out of the Roosters' goal-line defence for the Dragons' first try and then landing an inch-perfect 40/20 kick to lay the groundwork for their second. In the second half, and reduced to 12 players for most of the opening 10 minutes of the term, the Knights had further troubles losing Young to a rib injury. He first barged through the middle of the park and flicked the ball away to Victor Radley, who opened the Roosters' account against the run of play. But the victory in Gosford looks to have come at a significant cost for the Roosters, with Billy Smith (knee), Sitili Tupouniua (knee) and Siosiua Taukeiaho (cheekbone) going down with injuries. With Luke Keary still missing through concussion, Manu shifted to five-eighth for just the fourth time in his career and wasted little time exerting his influence on the contest. The Sea Eagles extended it to 36-12 in a matter of minutes with three quick tries to Haumole Olakau'atu, Andrew Davey and Christian Tuipulotu. Three days after guiding the Maroons to their State of Origin series win, Cherry-Evans had a hand in three tries in a 10-minute period midway through the second half against the Knights that got his team back into the top eight. It was a tight affair for the opening 10 minutes but as soon as Manly scored — via a sublime Cherry-Evans pass to his right centre Tolutau Koula — the Knights replied. Zac Hosking thought he had scored his first NRL try to extend the Broncos lead in the 64th minute only for a video referee review to rule out the effort.

Brisbane are seemingly set for an NRL finals return under his watch but Broncos coach Kevin Walters insists...

"We've thrown that out there and when that happens, I don't know, but we're heading in the right direction for all that to take place." "The atmosphere at the Broncos is to win premierships and that's what we're about as a club. But there's been a massive improvement with the Broncos this year, Saturday's 16-12 win over local rivals Gold Coast at CBUS Super Stadium keeping them fifth on the ladder after 17 games and on track for a return to September football.

He's set to lead Brisbane to the NRL finals for the first time since 2019, but Broncos coach Kevin Walters says play-offs have not been discussed at Red ...

Walters is also weighing up if front-rower Haas will make the trip to Sydney having spent time on the sidelines with issues to the AC joints in both of his shoulders. Cobbo will miss next Thursday's clash with the Eels at Commbank Stadium due to the concussion he suffered in the Maroons' Origin decider triumph but Capewell, Carrigan and Oates will all return. The following season Brisbane finished with the club's first wooden spoon before Walters led them to 14th place in his first year in charge in 2021.
