That was a gutsy effort tonight. They are the benchmark of the competition. We knew we had to come here and give a great performance.<\/p>\n
To hold this Penrith team to two tries, it speaks volumes of the effort.<\/p>\n
The belief and fight and hunger in the team was certainly there tonight.<\/p>\n

78′ Brisbane given a slice of luck<\/p>\n
The Broncos have been given a slice of luck.<\/p>\n
The Panthers grubber a kick; it is then picked up by a Panther and thrown infield, collected by Brisbane’s Josiah Karapani, who is tackled into touch.<\/p>\n
Referee Todd Smith called a knock-on against the Panthers, believing the grubber kick was dropped before the ball hit the foot.<\/p>\n
The grubber kick was done correctly, so Penrith should be getting the ball.<\/p>\n
But before Karapani went into touch, ref Todd Smith blew the play dead.<\/p>\n
Because the Bronco never went into touch, it is a play the ball for the Broncos.<\/p>\n
What luck.<\/p>\n
