If you are a fan of the sydney broncos, then you will have seen them start off the season with a win. They beat the Brisbane Roosters two from two and then went on to beat the Brisbane Cowboys in extra time. This is a good start to the broncos’ season.
St George Illawarra beat Sydney broncos 24-10
The St George Illawarra Dragons are an Australian professional rugby league football club, based in Wollongong. They compete in the National Rugby League (NRL) since 1999. Their fans live across the state of New South Wales.
The team’s official name is the “St George Illawarra Dragons”. It is a reference to the city of St George in the state of New South Wales.
This is the first time the two teams have played a game since the 2000 season, but it is not the first time the Dragons have been involved in a rivalry with the Broncos. A match was played between the two clubs in Round 13, 2006, and they both won.
Brisbane broncos beat Sydney broncos 28-8
Brisbane Broncos played Sydney Roosters in the NRL’s preliminaries. In what proved to be the game of the season, the two teams battled to a 28-8 victory. This was the third time Brisbane has failed to make the finals.
Despite the loss, the Broncos re-entered the top eight, finishing the year in third place. They were the first team to finish the year in the top four after Round 17.
The Broncos started the season in fine style, beating the Warriors 40-10. However, their first five games ended in disappointment. After losing to Sydney Roosters and North Queensland, the club fell out of the top four.
Brisbane broncos beat Melbourne and Sydney City
Brisbane Broncos have beaten both Melbourne and Sydney City in the past three months. The team is now in the top eight, but the Broncos could slip back down if they fail to beat the Rabbitohs or Eels in their last two games.
Brisbane regrouped to win on the road against Gold Coast 34-12. However, the team will need to tighten up in their last two matches to make the finals.
In the first half, the Broncos were not poor. The team showed great resilience in its defence as they held out the Storm for most of the first half. After the break, the Storm broke through, scoring six tries.
Sydney broncos lose possession eight times and conceding as many penalties
The Dragons gave Brisbane a run for their money in round 12 of 2004. They defeated the Broncos 22-12, setting up a finals clash with the Raiders.
Brisbane lost the battle on several fronts. The Broncos didn’t take advantage of the Cowboys’ first-half kicking prowess and missed a number of field goal opportunities.
While the Broncos rolled their rucks, the Cowboys were able to take advantage of their defensive line, swarming them with tacklers. Despite a late penalty, the Cowboys had a chance to score.
Justin Hodges plays his final home match for the broncos
When Brisbane Broncos and Sydney Roosters met on Friday evening, it would be Justin Hodges’ final home game in Queensland. It would also be the last time that he plays in an official NRL match at Suncorp Stadium.
He has played in 189 matches for the club. This will be his 15th career match at fullback. The Broncos will need to win the game to book their spot in the NRL grand final. If they do, they will have a 6-0 record in the Grand Final.
Brisbane broncos beat Brisbane Cowboys in extra time
The North Queensland Cowboys came from behind to win a thrilling derby against Brisbane. It was the first time they had defeated the Broncos since four years ago.
The game was a real highlight of the season. After trading blows for the better part of 80 minutes, the game went to extra time. When the scores were locked at 20-20, it appeared that the Cowboys were going to hang on to win.
In the dying moments of regulation time, North Queensland produced a miraculous try from halfback Michael Morgan. He drew three defenders before touching down in the corner.
Brisbane broncos beat Brisbane Roosters two-from-two to start the season
In the first game of the new season, the Sydney Roosters beat the Brisbane Broncos 59-0 at the Suncorp Stadium. This victory came in the middle of a 12-game winning run and helped put Sydney in an impressive position to defend their NRL title.
The Roosters began the match on a high note, scoring three tries within 15 minutes. Luke Keary kicked a drop goal on the stroke of halftime and then finished off a length of the field counter attack.
Tyson Gamble emerges as a serviceable half
The NRL has received plenty of criticism for the number of players sent off in two games on Friday. Eight men were banned from playing in the Magic Round and that figure could double. One club, the Broncos, has admitted it has not done enough to stop the trend.
Brisbane’s halfback has been given a fresh chance to prove himself. Kev Gamble has been recalled by coach Greg Walters for round 25. And Gamble, who has played eight NRL matches this season, has been impressed.
