\u201cMontoya missed it! Marcelo Montoya did not tidy up,\u201d Fox League commentator Andrew Voss said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt does have to be said, Montoya had a very unhappy day last week against Parramatta. One mistake became two became three. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s now put a target on himself there. Shibashaki, Karapani down that left edge.\u201d <\/p>\n
Cooper Cronk said: \u201cThe kick comes through. All Montoya had to do was clean it up \u2014 ground the ball.\u201d<\/p>\n
Josiah Karapani scored the second try when Montoya was caught out of position out of defence creeping too far infield, and Ezra Mam took advantage, throwing a lovely ball out to Karapani who waltzed in to score in the corner. <\/p>\n
\u201cWatch the Bulldogs\u2019 right defence come in. Montoya gives the space and Ezra Mam takes it,\u201d Cooper Cronk said. <\/p>\n
\u201cBeautiful pass there from Ezra. We know he\u2019s a beautiful runner but that is one of the better passes I\u2019ve seen Ezra Mam throw. <\/p>\n
\u201cLook at the space outside Montoya here. Already made the error from the Shibashaki try. He just had no idea where Karapani was. He invited the pass by giving the space and Ezra Mam saw it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Greg Alexander said post-game: \u201cMarcelo Montoya, you can tell he\u2019s second guessing himself. He\u2019s been a great player for a long time. You can tell every time the ball gets out there, they\u2019re just not humming.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Bulldogs were without first choice winger Jacob Kiraz, who is sidelined after suffering a knee injury against the Eels last week.<\/p>\n
Bulldogs star \u2018in trouble\u2019 for ugly tackle<\/p>\n
Matt Burton is expected to come under scrutiny after being placed on report for an ugly dumping tackle on Kotoni Staggs that saw Burton lift the Broncos centre up and his head fell into the surf. <\/p>\n
Braith Anasta said on Fox League: \u201cThere was an incident between Matt Burton and Kotoni Staggs that got a little bit awkward. He lands on his head.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kevin Walters said: \u201cI\u2019m quite amazed how Kotoni Staggs didn\u2019t knock himself out there, maybe just got a bit of protection from Burton\u2019s arm or something. <\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s a dangerous tackle, that\u2019ll go to the judiciary. I reckon he\u2019s in a bit of trouble .\u201d<\/p>\n
Luke Keary added: \u201cThe way Staggs\u2019 head hits the ground first. It\u2019s on the defender not to put the attacker in a dangerous position. <\/p>\n
\u201cI know he\u2019s only going for one-on-one rake there, but it looks really bad. It\u2019s not your standard spear tackle. <\/p>\n
Walters said: \u201cHis arms are locked up so he can\u2019t protect himself. which puts him in a dangerous position.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Broncos ran in another two tries when Bulldogs forward Harry Hayes was sin binned for tripping Adam Reynolds after the halfback put in a kick. Luke Keary described the trip as a \u201cbrain snap\u201d on Fox League.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Broncos are ripping the Bulldogs apart. What a first half performance this is,\u201d Andrew Voss said in commentary as Brisbane raced out to a big lead.<\/p>\n
Making matters worse for the Bulldogs, star backrower Viliame Kikau went down to the sheds after appearing to suffer a right pec injury in the first half. <\/p>\n
The Bulldogs were well off the form that saw them defeat the Panthers, and Stephen Crichton wasn\u2019t at his best on his return from injury. <\/p>\n
\u201cThere was a couple of plays at the start of the game, they went to the right, they pulled them apart,\u201d Keary said. <\/p>\n
\u201cThere was an opportunity out the back twice for Crichton, he didn\u2019t pass the ball. You could feel there energy drop from there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kevin Walters said it was \u201ca very disappointing Bulldogs side\u201d. <\/p>\n
\u201cThey just haven\u2019t been in the fight whether it\u2019s their discipline, their attack looks clunky,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
Greg Alexander: \u201cStephen Crichton to me still looks injured,\u201d while Walters added: \u201cHe\u2019s still lame.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Broncos were missing Reece Walsh, Jesse Arthars, Ben Hunt, Payne Haas, Patrick Carrigan and Corey Jensen. <\/p>\n
Cooper Cronk said the Bulldogs would be hoping to get more out of hooker Bailey Hayward and lock Jaeman Salmon. <\/p>\n
\u201cBailey Hayward is a good little player, I think he is part of their spine,\u201d Cronk said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey just need him running and and be a bit more creative because at the moment Salmon is that guy who plays through the middle. Sometimes he gets it right, sometimes he gets it wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n
Crichton was put on report for tripping Xavier Willison late in the game.<\/p>\n
