HT: The Dragons roaring against the lacklustre Broncos<\/p>\n
Check the scores, rub your eyes and check the score again.<\/p>\n
The Broncos have another terrible first half in which they scored just 2 points as the Dragons dominate to lead 14-2.<\/p>\n
The Broncos made seven errors and the Dragons five – it’s not been great quality football despite the players out there.<\/p>\n
The Dragons have been good – they’ve run the ball hard up the middle, dominating the middle and forcing turnovers against a Broncos team that simply haven’t looked up to it so far.<\/p>\n
A big second half to come for the Broncos, and the Dragons, who haven’t won any of their last 15 NRL games dating back to last season.<\/p>\n

40′ Penalty Broncos!<\/p>\n
That’s rubbish from the Dragons!<\/p>\n
Moses Suli ran across the line as a kick goes deep, where it’s comfortably dealt with by Setu Tu.<\/p>\n
Suli held out the arm and Reece Walsh went down like 2010-era Cristiano Ronaldo.<\/p>\n
It’s a penalty to the Broncos – the softest of soft penalties to give away.<\/p>\n
The siren goes so this will be the Broncos scoring chance off the tee…<\/p>\n
Adam Reynolds kicks the points and the Broncos are, just about, on the board.<\/p>\n
The Dragons lead 14-2.<\/p>\n

38′ Setu Tu makes brilliant take, Broncos give away penalty<\/p>\n
That’s some catch by Setu Tu, following the ball back over his shoulder to make a good catch.<\/p>\n
The Broncos come flying in but Brendan Piakura is offside.<\/p>\n
This has been an awful 40 from the Broncos, from a discipline aspect and a general play aspect.<\/p>\n

Sun 31 May 2026 at 2:42pm<\/p>\n
35′ Pat Carrigan limps down into the sheds<\/p>\n
Hmmm, this is not good for the Maroons or the Broncos.<\/p>\n
Carrigan did play on valiantly with that ankle injury but has come off now and is going to take an early mark before half time.<\/p>\n
Sun 31 May 2026 at 2:41pm<\/p>\n
Sun 31 May 2026 at 2:41pm<\/p>\n
34′ PAYNE HAAS ON THE CHARGE!<\/p>\n
The massive Blues prop races 40 metres up field!<\/p>\n
He ran over Kyle Flanagan and then was away\/<\/p>\n
He has Kotoni Staggs on the outside but is tackled by Gutherson.<\/p>\n
But then, as the Broncos surge forward, they lose the ball!<\/p>\n
Another Brisbane error.<\/p>\n

Sun 31 May 2026 at 2:39pm<\/p>\n
32′ Broncos error<\/p>\n
Another poor error!<\/p>\n
This time it’s the Broncos and Reece Walsh looking to make things happen inside the attacking 20.<\/p>\n
He scoots across field, does some really nice moves and then throws a poor, unsighted flick pass straight into the hands of\u00a0
\nMathew Feagai.<\/p>\n
The Dragons escape and the unmistakable sound of frustration echoes around Lang Park from the Broncos faithful.<\/p>\n

Sun 31 May 2026 at 2:37pm<\/p>\n
31′ Bad error Setu Tu<\/p>\n
That is a poor one – the Dragons just about getting the ball out of their own defensive 20 and then gave it away.<\/p>\n
The Broncos will come again – helped by an offside penalty off the scrum.<\/p>\n
Sun 31 May 2026 at 2:36pm<\/p>\n
Sun 31 May 2026 at 2:36pm<\/p>\n
30′ Talty drops the ball over the line!<\/p>\n
There’s that poor, juddering attack again hurting the Broncos.<\/p>\n
The Broncos are struggling, they have only scored four points in their last four halves combined – including this one.<\/p>\n
And they should have done better there, a poor drop from Ben Talty.<\/p>\n
Sun 31 May 2026 at 2:35pm<\/p>\n
Sun 31 May 2026 at 2:35pm<\/p>\n
29′ Brilliant almost try from the Broncos!<\/p>\n
BUT IT’S SENT UP AS NO TRY!<\/p>\n
Ezra Mam put the kick up for Josiah Karapani.<\/p>\n
He is taken by a swinging arm by Clint Gutherson – which was noted by the referee.<\/p>\n
Did Karapani get over the line? No, he drops it.<\/p>\n
The Broncos will have a penalty 10 metres out.<\/p>\n
It was a very staccato, clunky set by the Broncos in all truth – they don’t look sharp.<\/p>\n
Sun 31 May 2026 at 2:29pm<\/p>\n
Sun 31 May 2026 at 2:29pm<\/p>\n
22′ Pat Carrigan getting running repairs<\/p>\n
He has spent the entire time that the Dragons had that penalty getting his left ankle looked it.<\/p>\n
The Broncos have strapped him up over the top of his bright yellow boot and he will be able to continue.<\/p>\n
He’s not moving very well though.<\/p>\n

Sun 31 May 2026 at 2:28pm<\/p>\n
21′ IT’S ON! Piakura on report<\/p>\n
Brendan Piakura absolutely nails Daniel Atkinson as he kicks from inside the 40.<\/p>\n
It looked OK to be honest in terms of timing…<\/p>\n
Setu Tu
\nhas taken great offence to that though and starts a little skirmish with the Bronco forward.<\/p>\n
The referee says it’s gone a bit high – indirect high contact is the ruling from the referee.<\/p>\n
That makes sense – the shot itself was fine.<\/p>\n
The Dragons have a penalty and are going to kick it.<\/p>\n
Val Holmes kicks true and the Dragons lead 14-0!<\/p>\n

Sun 31 May 2026 at 2:24pm<\/p>\n
The Dragons are on fire<\/p>\n
Arvo Simon. I\u2019m wondering if I\u2019m hallucinating! Did I just see 2 Dragons tries? Old Timer, if you\u2019re out there, let\u2019s raise a glass.<\/p>\n

18′ Corey Paix loses the ball, Broncos challenge successfully<\/p>\n
Corey Paix mopped up a bouncing ball after the Dragons knocked a kick bomb backwards.<\/p>\n
He then spins out of a tackle and runs up field, only for Clint Gutherson to strip him of the ball one-on-one.<\/p>\n
The Broncos are going to challenge this.<\/p>\n
It’s a great challenge too, to be fair, Gutherson did strip the ball, knocking it backwards, and then Paix regathered it.<\/p>\n
Play on.<\/p>\n
Sun 31 May 2026 at 2:20pm<\/p>\n
Sun 31 May 2026 at 2:20pm<\/p>\n
16′ Ryan Couchman on report<\/p>\n
Ryan Couchman is on report for a Bunker-spotted hip drop on Payne Haas.<\/p>\n

15′ Dragons make first error<\/p>\n
Oh dear, Loko Jnr Pasifiki Tonga knocks on there with the Broncos line starting to bend just 10 metres out.<\/p>\n
An escape for the Broncos there.<\/p>\n
Sun 31 May 2026 at 2:18pm<\/p>\n
Sun 31 May 2026 at 2:18pm<\/p>\n
15′ Payne Haas loses the ball now!<\/p>\n
Big Payne Haas has looked lively in the opening hit ups he’s had.<\/p>\n
But he loses the ball in contact there and that leaves the Broncos with just three completions from six sets so far.<\/p>\n
The Dragons are seven from seven.<\/p>\n
Sun 31 May 2026 at 2:13pm<\/p>\n
Sun 31 May 2026 at 2:13pm<\/p>\n
10′ The Dragons score another one!<\/p>\n
Very, very good from Dan Atkinson!<\/p>\n
The Dragons went left, then Dan Atkinson got the ball on the right edge, put it to his boot and grubbered through to himself to score!<\/p>\n
What a start for the Broncos!<\/p>\n
The Dragons lead 12-0 after the successful Val Holmes conversion!<\/p>\n
This is the Dragons’ biggest lead of the season.<\/p>\n
Sun 31 May 2026 at 2:11pm<\/p>\n
Sun 31 May 2026 at 2:11pm<\/p>\n
9′ Dragons throw a forward pass!<\/p>\n
Oh what a great chance for the Dragons!<\/p>\n
The bomb went up and Josiah Karapani couldn’t claim it.<\/p>\n
The Dragons moved the ball left but the ball was thrown forward by Val Holmes.<\/p>\n
The Dragons have given away a chance there.<\/p>\n
The scrum will go their way for the knock on by Karapani.<\/p>\n

Sun 31 May 2026 at 2:10pm<\/p>\n
7′ Adam Reynolds on report<\/p>\n
Adam Reynolds is on report for a hip drop – play was allowed to continue.<\/p>\n
It was on one of the Couchmans.<\/p>\n
