It is sad news for Team Broncos. Sitting fifth in Round 13, Brisbane have slipped down to 11th ahead of a season-defining clash in Round 19.
Billy Walters has sold a dummy out of the ruck and darted over before giving the Dragons players a spray after scoring!
This is a must win for the Broncos and they’ve started with intent. They haven’t lost six in a row since their wooden spoon season of 2020.
The Dragons have crossed first at Suncorp Stadium with big Christian Tuipulotu barging his way over in the seventh minute.
The visitors lost Raymond Faitala-Mariner in the warm-up to back spasms which brought Ben Murdoch-Masila back into the 1. He had initially dropped out for Jack Bird who returns from an ankle injury.
Broncos centre Kotoni Staggs has been binned for a professional foul at marker and Kyle Flanagan slots the penalty in front of the sticks to lock up the scores.
Raymond Faitala-Mariner has been injured (back spasms) in the warm up and won’t play!!
The Broncos haven’t been able to secure a victory in their last five games and Kevin Walters will be desperate to turn his side’s fortunes around against the Dragons.
Brendan Piakura has passed his final fitness test for an ankle complaint and will play despite reports he could miss the clash.
