<\/a><\/p>\nThe error-ridden Rabbitohs remain in last place and their ninth loss in a row is now Wayne Bennett’s worst losing streak in his 38 years as coach in the premiership.<\/p>\n
The loss of Willison in the 48th minute, likely for the season, is a concern in the run to the finals with fellow prop Ben Te Kura (broken foot) also out of action.<\/p>\n
Broncos coach Michael Maguire said before the match that he wanted Walsh to pick his moments and chime in at the right time rather than overplaying his hand.<\/p>\n
Walsh took the advice on board to set up two tries in the first half as Brisbane took an 18-8 lead into the break.<\/p>\n
Cobbo had several nice touches and raced 53m to score straight after halftime. Fellow winger Deine Mariner, also brought back into the side, was at his dazzling best with a double.<\/p>\n

Ezra Mam and Kotoni Staggs both scored twice as the Broncos romped home.<\/p>\n
Brisbane, on 28 points, are now just two points behind the fourth-placed Warriors and travel to Melbourne on Thursday night.<\/p>\n
The hosts lost forwards Payne Haas (skin infection) and Brendan Piakura (concussion) in the 24 hours before kick-off but had too much class for the hapless Rabbitohs.<\/p>\n
Broncos captain Adam Reynolds became the second player in premiership history to score 2500 points and now is only behind Cameron Smith (2786 points).<\/p>\n
Walsh and Mam interchanged passes in a slick long-range try for the latter to open the scoring.<\/p>\n
Reynolds then conjured a trademark try for Jack Gosiewski with a deft grubber.<\/p>\n
Rabbitohs five-eighth Lewis Dodd set up a try with a neat cross-field bomb for winger Bayleigh Bentley-Hape to score.<\/p>\n
Walsh found the perfect pass for Kotoni Staggs to surge over but Souths spun it as the halftime siren sounded for centre Tallis Duncan to score.<\/p>\n
The hosts ran away with it in the second half in a total demolition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brisbane have kept their top-four hopes alive with a 60-14 whipping of South Sydney, but suffered a huge…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":38340,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-38339","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38339","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38339"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38339\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/38340"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38339"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38339"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38339"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
