WATCH: Broncos with the soccer skills
Cobbo and scores again – Roosters reeling
The gulf in class between these sides that many feared is there for all to see. Brisbane are in again – from another kick – and the Roosters must be running out of things to say in their own in-goal area. Brisbane lead 32-4 after 49 minutes
Broncos well clear after another try
The first few minutes of the second half have been good for the Roosters. At least, they were until the Broncos went all AC Milan and used three kicks on the one play to score. Adam Reynold supplied the genius before Selwyn Cobbo and Deine Mariner conspired. Cobbo scored. The sight of Roosters players standing and watching instead of acting won’t look good in the team video review. Brisbane lead 26-4 after 45 minutes
View from the ground
Haas and Carrigan dominate
A quick look at the half-time stats indicates we haven’t given Pat Carrigan the attention he deserves. Sixteen runs for 163m in the first half is a tremendous haul. He also has a try assist.
Between he and Haas, the first half results in 25 runs for 268m. No wonder their time has a 16-point lead.

Mitchell Moses update
Fresh off his bumper new deal, Mitchell Moses will miss six weeks (hopefully just that) with a foot injury. The Herald’s Dan Walsh spoke to new Eels coach Jason Ryles about what it all means for his star half. Read about Moses’ setback here

Half-time: Brisbane lead 20-4
The first few minutes aside, that was a rough start from the Roosters. The Broncos were clearly the better side, with hulking prop Payne Haas clearly the best player on the field. There were errors, missed tackles and even defensive alignment issues from the Tricolours. Yes, it is only round one, but Trent Robinson would be concerned.

Broncos bossing this game
Brisbane’s lead is out to 20-4 after an Adam Reynolds penalty goal. The scary thing for the Roosters is they’re probably luck to only be down by 16. Brisbane have been clearly the better team in the first 38 minutes. It will take something special for Easts to win this one from here. Brisbane lead 20-4 after 39 minutes.
One that got away for Brisbane
