[Cliffymagic]

Thats sinbin offence by roberts. Full intention.

 

[HoldenV8]

I hate to admit this but Ben Hunt has been good for St Merge tonight.

Brisbane are giving away a lot of offside penalties, and they're doing it from where Widdop can make them pay. And he has - 3/3 from penalty kicks.

 

[manlyfan76]

Brisbane need a halfback.

 

[bob dylan]

Not watching anymore.

I reckon Wayne should complain about the short turn around, having to play Thursday has ruined their whole off season.

MEMO NRL: Broncos only play Fridays.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Nigh Nigh Donkeys

Unless something changes very quickly I’ll be 1/1.

Don’t you love a Donkey loss @COMMANDER

I love taking the piss out of my mates up here!

 

[HoldenV8]

Donkeys are in big trouble. Aitken gets through some flimsy defence to score about 10 metres in from touch.

24-6 St Merge after Widdop kicks his 6th goal from as many attempts.

Sorry to say it but I can't emphasize enough how much having a quality goal kicker is a big plus for any team.

Lodge makes Nate Myles look less of a plodder.

 

[HoldenV8]

Roberts scores his second off what looked like a slightly forward pass from Boyd close to the line. But forward pass or not, the defence deserved to be punished there, as soft as a Mr Whippy single, or double as it was his second try of the night.

Kahu converts and its 24-12 to the home team.

 

[damiennp90]

Gee the Donkeys have been ordinary.

 

[HoldenV8]

Another St Merge try. Jack de Bellin this time who crashes over next to the posts.

30-12 St Merge with Widdop now kicking 7/7. Clint's body double is going to be a grumpy old man.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

One of Wayne Bennett’s best moves , letting his halfback go!!

I mean it’s not as if he couldn’t muster up a TPA for him??

Hunt’s been on fire tonight.

You beauty 1/1

 

[HoldenV8]

Nightingale scores in the corner and bounces himself off his head in the process. Then headbutts Aitken for good measure when he gets up lol.

Widdop actually missed the kick and St Merge win 34-12.

Brisbane looked dead set ordinary.

 

[maxta]

Predictable- Illawarra minced them in the forwards....but the Broncos were shocking.
Glad Lodge set up a try....

 

[wombatgc]

Brisbane looked dead set ordinary.

They did. I tipped them, so we both got punished.

 

[Shoe1]

The Brisbane side don’t really have a spine. WhEre did they rank on that previous rating of spines?

They look terribly unbalanced on paper so no surprise they are hopeless.

Nikorima? Milford? Not organizers, the fullback is a winger.

 

[HoldenV8]

In tonight's fight of the halves, the referee stopped the bout at 80 minutes declaring Nikorima and Milford well and truly beaten.

Judges scored the fight 34-12.

Widdop ran the ball well and his goal kicking was class, while Hunt played like he had a point to prove to his old club. The Donkey's halves on the other hand were a non-event.

Looks like its back to the drawing board for Wayne
