📝 Match Report: NRLBroncosRoosters
In what was arguably their best opening 40 minutes of the year, Herbie Farnworth, Ezra Mam and Patrick Carrigan crossed for tries, with Adam Reynolds converting all three and adding a penalty in front of a boisterous crowd at The Gabba.
While Brisbane's fourth-straight win keeps them right in the race for the minor premiership – jumping them to the top of the Telstra Premiership ladder for the meantime ahead of the Panthers playing on Saturday night – it could spell the end of the Roosters' hopes of playing finals in 2023. Reynolds pulled the strings beautifully in a performance which included two try assists, while up front Payne Haas and co dominated the contest in the middle.
On an otherwise dreadful night, veteran wing Daniel Tupou became the Roosters' all-time record try-scorer with his 140th try, scored 10 minutes from full-time.
