‘Just trust me’: Bennett defiant amid injury blow; Broncos flyer shines — What we learned
The Broncos have triumphed over Wayne Bennett’s Dolphins 28-14 in front of a sold-out Suncorp Stadium, winning the battle of Brisbane once more.
Furthermore, due to a hamstring injury, renowned fullback Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow will be absent for the NRL rookies in the coming weeks.
Tabuai-Fidow took the hit in the 20th minute while attempting to tackle Corey Oates, a play that referee Adam Gee had already waved off.
The first half of this heavily-anticipated clash was a seesawing affair, with the first points coming after 22 minutes with veteran Jarrod Wallace charging onto a Kenny Bromwich pass.
Broncos young gun Xavier Willison scored next, pushing his way over from a standing start to see the first half finish at 6-4 in favour of Kevin Walters’ men.
While the first 40 minutes was quiet, the second was far from it with the Broncos scoring four tries within 14 minutes.
