37′ High ball from the Raiders is allowed to bounce – it falls to Papalii in space but his pass doesn’t get Wighton on the outside of his man and Reed makes a strong tackle, forcing an error. Brisbane have the ball.

Ha, I used to like Brandy as a commentator but this year it’s like he’s always just angry about refereeing decisions. Half the time he’s seen it wrong, too. Just call the game!

34′ Raiders go close through Buttriss – looked certain to score but scrambling defence pulls him back!
And now Milford loses the ball at second receiver! Simple knock-on and it comes undone for the Raiders!

32′ Chargedown attempted by the Broncos, it takes a touch and the Raiders regather to get six again. Good chance for them to build an attack here…

31′ Nice set by the Broncos after points, it ends with Hunt grubbering ahead for Vidot but Milford is back there and cleans it up before being tackled on his own 10m line. Brisbane starting to look strong here,

30′ CONVERSION SUCCESSFUL from Hunt.

29′ TRY BRONCOS! There was a hint that Copley might have dropped it but video ref rules that it wasn’t conclusive so the on-field decision stands, and Copley has a double.

REPLAY: Robinson went up to contest the bomb, he knocked it forward into the head of Copley – definite Falcon there – and then the ball bounced kindly for him and Copley regathered. No problem there but we’re checking the put-down now…

29′ VIDEO REF! It’s Copley again from a bomb – going upstairs to look for a knock-on but ref thinks it’s a try!

27′ STILL no penalties so far – will we make it to half-time without the refs intervening? Back into the tussle for field position here but the Broncos’ kicking game is better than the Raiders’ and they’re getting on top as a result.

24′ CONVERSION SUCCESSFUL from Parker.

Pretty sure the Brisbane player already had his hand on him.
Personally I find all the furore about voluntary tackles silly. Ray Warren seems to lead it. When a player catches the ball and falls to the ground he should be able to brace himself for a hit from the defence. Once he sees the other player isn’t going to tackle him, he usually makes an attempt to get to his feet and then the tackle is completed anyway.

22′ TRY BRONCOS! Hodges makes a break, passes to Gillett and he finds Copley supporting on the outside to cross in the corner!

19′ Hunt goes high, Milford takes it well. Brisbane still on top in terms of territory but it’s a real old-fashioned arm wrestle so far.

18′ Hoffman again to the sky – it’s their go-to option every time so far. Vidot goes the bat-back but it’s into the hands of a Raider and again they defuse the situation.

16′ Great off-load by Fensom and Milford is away! He’s pulled down on the 10m line… and then knocked on by Brett White at dummy half! Disaster! But the crowd were on their feet there for a moment as Milford was almost away…

15′ Still no penalties in this one! Always good to see, a real battle for territory so far.
Good set by the Broncos with some strong charges by the big men – again they go high on the last but this time Milford gets to it with little pressure on him.

14′ Hunt goes VERY high – Robinson and Reed contest it and they both come down with it, Robinson manages to wrench the ball from Reed’s possession however to win the ball for his team.

13′ Campese to the sky but it’s easily handled by Barba with no real pressure from the chasers. Still close here but Broncos have probably had slightly the better of the territory…

11′ Hunt goes to the sky – ref originally calls a knock-on by Robinson in the contest but replays show Vidot touched the ball first and they overturn the call, Canberra scrum feed on their own 10m line.

10′ McCrone goes high – it’s allowed to bounce and takes a bounce straight into the hands of Jack Reed, and he’s away! He doesn’t have the legs though and he’s pulled down just inside Canberra’s half, Brisbane with a chance to attack now though with Raiders back pedalling…

9′ McCullough kicks from dummy half on the 4th tackle and finds touch inside Canberra’s 20m – hint of a 40/20 but he was just outside his 40m when he kicked it. Nice work by McCullough though.

8′ Broncos return serve with their own strong defence, McCrone forced into touch by a driving Reed, Glenn and Hoffman.

38′ High ball from the Raiders – Barba knocks it on, back into the hands of Campese who kicks ahead! It should have been six again though I didn’t see the refs call it so Campese may have just been playing to the whistle. Either way it’s a well-placed kick and he manages to wim a dropout for his team. Last chance of the half!
