Based on tonight so far, paps isn't ready to move meany out of fullback or goal kicking duties. Still good to see him back and involved a fair bit

Might have been the most fun half I’ve seen in a long time, probably because there’s no stress of losing it’s been a ball, that Sua try was so so good, great to see him and Paps linking up great stuff.

Nikorima been the gem for me so far, haven’t seen much of him but he has been dangerous in attack and really solid on defence, surprised he hasn’t seen more 1st grade this season looks a perfect utility.

Good offload from Anderson to Sua too. Great to see Pappy involved in that try too.

Yea Paps needs more time for sure. Love that’s he’s back but not sure he should be in the 17 next week.

Nikorima has been great. Defence has improved. In his one previous game with Storm, he got dragged early because of the number of missed tackles.

I think Anderson's arm carrying the ball was always off the ground.

I haven't been overly impressed with Nikorima when he's been given a chance previously, but it sounds like he's improved in QLD Cup as the season has gone on, and so far so good in this game... although the Broncos have really dropped off in defensive intensity since their second try.

Going off tonight so far nikorima has been threatening in attack and solid in defence. If he keeps this up in the second half could be a solid utility off the bench.

Loved SUA’S first run! WOW, early days but looks destined for a big future. With paps still young we might lose him though, I can see another club throwing big money at him for a fullback position 🙄

Sua was taken out there.

Another soft call goes the other way.

Half time not good for us - the Broncos have their intensity back and look like they want it more than us currently.
