    I’m so gutted for Papenhyuzen I can’t even celebrate this win right now 😢. Confirmed same injury as Yow Yeh and we all know how that ended. Absolutely brutal, he did not deserve that after what he has been through.

      I hate the storms but like paps. Hate the fact he came back only to get injured again. I don’t want him to retire, same way I don’t want turbo to retire, but why would he come back?

      It can be an absolute cruel game to some of the best players.

    Anyone vs the storms is an instant bandwagon hop for me.

    Brisbane bullying the storms around the park, can only hope for a big scoreline against them (not 40-0 tho, that is sacred).

    Knights have flipped the switch.

    Hard to see the Raiders holding out now

    Great game from both teams in the wet.

    Respect to the Broncos defence. Melbourne never looked like scoring. Broncos well deserved winners.

    But holy hell, that last 10 minutes or so of Melbourne injuries… I hate Melbourne, but no, not like this…☹️

      Yeh I can’t remember a worse 10 minutes of injuries ever tbh. Coates was in a world of hurt, that head clash was one of the most brutal I’ve ever seen (how one of them managed to get up and stay on the field before going off 10 minutes later is amazing, the ref should have sent him straight away for an HIA), and then Papi going down like that. Just terrible.

      I’m a Broncos diehard but I like the storm as they’re basically another QLD team, so that end just took all the wind out of my jovial sails.

      Broncos going to definitely have to fix their errors if they want to beat Penrith though. Walsh made a couple of unforgivable ones in the 2 play the ball errors. Also his insistence to challenge the first one was bad. You could tell Reynolds didn’t want to but Walsh convinced him. Terrible call by Walsh.

    So despite the confirmation last night of a broken ankle and compound fracture it actually wasn’t a compound fracture which is HUGE news. Last I saw they were doing the surgery and would then confirm if it was an ankle break or just a straight tibia/fibula break, with the latter being preferable as it would have a much lower chance of being a career ender. Fingers crossed!

      Saw they were expecting him to be training at the beginning of next year!

        Fantastic turn of events! Looks like it’s just a broken fibula- pretty much the absolute best case scenario!

    Broncs 8-0 at halftime.

    Fair enough scoreline. Broncos did have one really promising attack that they messed up.

    idk why you wouldn’t get some early ball to Staggs. I think he only got the ball twice that half.

    Flegler with the dick fingers. Reckon his long term Fox League sponsorship is safe.

    That knights v raiders game was a cracker. Did not like the penalty goal to win it but what can you do, it’s the NRL and they’re gonna do that every now and then unfortunately.

    looks like ol’ Fighton is gonna be sitting out a few weeks for Souths. Can’t believe he didn’t get sent off, he even admitted to biting him when talking to the ref!
