53' TRY: Josiah Karapani scores for the Broncos

M

By Michael Doyle

The Brisbane Broncos are on the board.

It follows a Souths kick that went out on the full. Souths have been sloppy to start this second half.

Brisbane march down field. Close to the goal-line, following an Ezra Mam line break, Brisbane go to the short-side and left winger Josiah Karapani scores.

Adam Reynolds successfully kicks the conversion from the left touchline.

45' Brisbane foward Jordan Riki limping

We will keep an eye on Jordan Riki, who does not look comfortable with a lower leg issue.

44' Souths defend their line

M

By Michael Doyle

A mistake from the Rabbitohs — Tallis Duncan was tackled over the touchline — gave the Broncos the ball at midfield.

The Broncos march down the field well, and go close to scoring.

It was the final play and Ezra Mam stepped through a fractured defensive line.

Souths fullback Jye Gray makes a great tackle around the legs to stop Mam in his tracks, two metres from the goal-line.

Second half of Rabbitohs vs Broncos begins

The Brisbane Broncos will need to produce the largest comeback in NRL history to avoid a sixth-straight loss.

South Sydney holds a 30-0 lead after an excellent first half.

That pre-game ceremony for Jai and his family was beautiful but heartbreaking. You’ll never walk alone Jai, all of Queensland and Australia are with you 💕

How bad is it going for the Broncos?

M

By Michael Doyle

Not performances from the defending premiers you'd expect. Have we seen such a weak subsequent season before ? Broncos seemingly on a downward spiral. Not sure of the remedy.

- Old timer

G'day Old timer.

The struggles of the Broncos, the reigning NRL premiers, is bad.

The last time the reigning premier failed to make finals the next year was 20 years ago.

The Wests Tigers, after winning the 2005 premiership, finished 11th the next year.

Canterbury, after winning the 2004 premiership, also missed the finals the following year.

But since 2006, every NRL premier has made finals the next year.

*Melbourne won the 2009 grand final but was stripped of the premiership, and their points deduction penalty meant they missed finals in 2010

HT: Rabbitohs 30 lead Broncos 0

M

By Michael Doyle

In what has been a tough season for the Brisbane Broncos, this might be the toughest.

On a five-match losing streak and needing to kick start their premiership defence, they have left in five tries to trail South Sydney 30-0 at half-time.

Three of those Rabbitohs' tries came immediately after Broncos errors.

40' TRY: Jamie Humphreys scores for the Rabbitohs

M

By Michael Doyle

Brisbane has been punished for another mistake, and it leads to South Sydney's fifth try.

A little chip kick from Aston Ward, I think it was a mis-kick, is caught by Cody Walker, who then offloads to Jamie Humphreys.

Humphreys runs two metres and scores.

39' Adam Reynolds kicks out on the full

M

By Michael Doyle

After a struggling set with the ball, where Brisbane could only make it to their own 30-metre line, captain Adam Reynolds has kicked out on the full.

Souths have a big chance to score a fifth try, and take the miracle out of the equation.

36' Ezra Mam is off the bench for the Broncos

By Michael Doyle

Brisbane's starting five-eighth, Tom Duffy, is off.

Ezra Mam is on.

32' Brisbane lose captain's challenge

M

By Michael Doyle

Brisbane has lost its captain's challenge, and it's a poor call.

Attacking the Souths goal-line, five-eighth Tom Duffy drops the footy in the play the ball.

It is a very poor error which wastes a great try-scoring opportunity.

And Duffy has compounded the error by convincing captain Adam Reynolds to challenge the call of a knock-on.

Duffy, I think, was arguing there was ruck interference.

There was not. Duffy dropped the ball in a poor moment, and now Brisbane has wasted its challenge.

29' TRY: Alex Johnston has a double for the Rabbitohs

M

By Michael Doyle

South Sydney has a fourth try.

Alex Johnston has a second try, off the back of the Antonio Verhoeven error.

Souths shift to the left. Cody Walker takes the ball to the defensive line, passes to centre Latrell Siegwalt and then Siegwalt tips on to Johnston for the try.

Siegwalt nails the conversion from the left touchline.

27' Le Blanc forces another Brisbane error

M

By Michael Doyle

South Sydney has another great chance to score.

Centre Antonio Verhoeven takes a run inside the Brisbane half of the field.

WHACK!

Liam Le Blanc comes off the bench and hits Verhoeven with the perfect tackle that forces a knock-on.

Souths could win the game right here.

23' TRY: David Fifita scores for the Rabbitohs

M

By Michael Doyle

Poor from the Brisbane Broncos.

The visitors were trying to run the ball from deep in their own end.

There is a dropped ball in a tackle. It was Antonio Verhoeven and it was a very loose carry.

A few tackles later, David Fifita charges onto a short pass from close range and scores.

Latrell Siegwalt kicks the goal.

20' Brisbane fail to catch a goal-line dropout

M

By Michael Doyle

Things are starting to unravel for the Brisbane Broncos.

The visitors enjoyed a nice set, where they were able to put up an attacking kick at the Souths' goal-line.

The Broncos forced a goal-line dropout.

But from the dropout, Josiah Karapani and Grant Anderson looked at each other, the ball bounced and then went out for a South Sydney scrum.

15' TRY: Alex Johnston scores for the Rabbitohs

M

By Michael Doyle

South Sydney has scored on the very next set.

Fullback Jye Gray throws a big dummy, then runs between Brisbane defenders Adam Reynolds and Antonio Verhoeven.

Gray draws in the Brisbane fullback, and passes to his left winger Alex Johnston — the absolute best man you want in support.

Goodnight. Try Alex Johnston.

13' TRY: Edward Kosi scores for the Rabbitohs

M

By Michael Doyle

South Sydney has the first try of the night.

Right winger Edward Kosi jumps in the air, outdueling opposing winger Josiah Karapani in the air to catch an Aston Ward kick, bobbles the footy, regathers and scores.

Latrell Siegwalt kicks the goal from near the right touchline.
