What the Broncos will be worried about

By

The match is done, but there are a couple of things to consider.

First is whether Reece Walsh will be further reprimanded for his headbutt on Hudson Young. The Broncos star No. 1 was sent to the bin for the offence, but will he be forced to miss the preliminary final?

Second is if Pat Carrigan will also be suspended for his shoulder charge on Morgan Smithies that resulted in his sin bin.

Judiciary sheet drops tomorrow...or maybe even tonight if the NRL are keen.

Hunt field goal sends Broncos to preliminary final

By

Ben Hunt kicks a field goal and the Broncos are through to the 2025 preliminary final.

That is heartbreaking for the Raiders.

The ball hits the upright, but it falls on the right side of the bar.

What an unbelievable game.

Now, the Raiders will host the Sharks in Canberra in next week’s elimination semi-final.
