It’s raining heavily in Brisbane as the teams come out for the second half, and Brisbane’s Jack Gosiewski gets the first goal after half-time after a hard tackle from Salesi Foketi. Gosiewski takes a little time to find his feet after that.
These conditions will make free-flowing attacks more difficult, but the Roosters like to gamble whenever they can – even this season when completion rates seem more important than ever. The Chooks completed just 63% of their first half sets, compared to Brisbane’s 82%.
Now the locker room is looking at a possible professional foul as Mark Nawaqanitawase was intercepted while looking for a bomb in the Broncos goal. Judgment is punishment but there is no sin bin or trial of punishment. Either way, the Roosters have a chance to regain the lead.
Broncos 16, Roosters 12 with 38 minutes left
