I’m so gutted for Papenhyuzen I can’t even celebrate this win right now 😢. Confirmed same injury as Yow Yeh and we all know how that ended. Absolutely brutal, he did not deserve that after what he has been through.

I hate the storms but like paps. Hate the fact he came back only to get injured again. I don't want him to retire, same way I don't want turbo to retire, but why would he come back?
It can be an absolute cruel game to some of the best players.
Bring back the biting lol
Jack Bighton 😬
Flegler with the dick fingers. Reckon his long term Fox League sponsorship is safe.

Uh oh, it's To'o!
So despite the confirmation last night of a broken ankle and compound fracture it actually wasn’t a compound fracture which is HUGE news. Last I saw they were doing the surgery and would then confirm if it was an ankle break or just a straight tibia/fibula break, with the latter being preferable as it would have a much lower chance of being a career ender. Fingers crossed!
Saw they were expecting him to be training at the beginning of next year!
Fantastic turn of events! Looks like it’s just a broken fibula- pretty much the absolute best case scenario!
Oh no. Paps with a broken ankle?
Hughes with a huge kick and...
No chasers.
No heart from the storms tonight.
Coates is fkd.
Looks like he's waiting for a bus while they pull their finger out on the medicab.
He lost ALL the ligaments 😞
Ahaha, now we've got a dual storms ko. What a nightmare.
Jeebus that 2 player Melbourne head clash was brutal
Broncs 8-0 at halftime.
Fair enough scoreline. Broncos did have one really promising attack that they messed up.
idk why you wouldn't get some early ball to Staggs. I think he only got the ball twice that half.
Anyone vs the storms is an instant bandwagon hop for me.
Brisbane bullying the storms around the park, can only hope for a big scoreline against them (not 40-0 tho, that is sacred).
That knights v raiders game was a cracker. Did not like the penalty goal to win it but what can you do, it's the NRL and they're gonna do that every now and then unfortunately.
looks like ol' Fighton is gonna be sitting out a few weeks for Souths. Can't believe he didn't get sent off, he even admitted to biting him when talking to the ref!
Knights have flipped the switch.
Hard to see the Raiders holding out now
Great game from both teams in the wet.
Respect to the Broncos defence. Melbourne never looked like scoring. Broncos well deserved winners.
But holy hell, that last 10 minutes or so of Melbourne injuries... I hate Melbourne, but no, not like this....☹️
Yeh I can’t remember a worse 10 minutes of injuries ever tbh. Coates was in a world of hurt, that head clash was one of the most brutal I’ve ever seen (how one of them managed to get up and stay on the field before going off 10 minutes later is amazing, the ref should have sent him straight away for an HIA), and then Papi going down like that. Just terrible.
I’m a Broncos diehard but I like the storm as they’re basically another QLD team, so that end just took all the wind out of my jovial sails.
Broncos going to definitely have to fix their errors if they want to beat Penrith though. Walsh made a couple of unforgivable ones in the 2 play the ball errors. Also his insistence to challenge the first one was bad. You could tell Reynolds didn’t want to but Walsh convinced him. Terrible call by Walsh.
Lil sparkle eyes over. Gotta love it!
Love some of those crowd shots more...
No, not Papy!
No-one wanted to tackle him because he's a ponga...
Neither of these teams look good enough to deserve to win, tbh
Roosters had some good possession later in the half, which might balance things out.
Not sure if the wind at the back of the Roosters for the 2nd half will make the difference
Broncos, Panthers, Roosters, Knights are my totally unbiased picks 😀
I'm only going to watch the Sharks v Roosters game. Seems like the only one where the result is up in the air.
Broncos v Storm is a bit uncertain. Only because Melbourne has some strange voodoo hold on the Broncos. I suspect Bellamy sold his soul to the devil and is a secret master of the dark arts. I hope the Broncos can yeet him into the cauldron of Lang Park to break the curse!
I liked watching the Broncos this year. They play good attacking footy, and Reece Walsh is a firecracker. And I hate the Storm. It will be an epic good vs evil battle for me 😎
Broncos,Warriors,Sharks,Knights. - (hopes not predictions) looking forward to it.
Not too impressed with Walters so far...
Edit: and he pulls off a nice kick that leads to a penalty. You're welcome, Broncos! 😀
Walsh. Too slippery in the wet!
Bit of dirty dancing there!
Bellyache upset that Walsh is stealing Studs Out Slater's signature move.
Carrigan searching for a staple gun. Putting some serious respect on the man bun tonight.
Haas is incredible
When he remembers just how big he is, he's a machine.
Melbourne's only chance to score seems to be from a kick....
Not if NAS keeps doing that
This is madness. I was saying 5 minutes ago, it'd be better for both teams to just agree to end the game
Paps to retire?
Unfortunately I think he has as much chance of playing next week as he does ever playing again. Devastating.
The worst thing about sports is injuries. I always wanna see the best playing the best. Fans are robbed!
Didn’t think I’d be cheering for the panthers but I’d rather they win now so we can play them in a grand final rather than the prelim. Then winning today gives us a much easier path to the grand final.
Roosters having to defend too much. Gonna be out of gas later...
Ugh, injuries take out Sualii and Manu. Teddy takes himself out for 10 minutes....
Wow what a great finish to that game. gg all round.
Gutsy effort from the Raiders to get back into it.
That Newcastle crowd is gonna be rowdy tonight 😁
When Staggs is on, he can't be stopped!
Good luck Kniggits!
