The Wests Tigers put up a spirited first-half fight against the Brisbane Broncos, trailing by just two points at the break, but were ultimately overwhelmed 46-24 at Suncorp Stadium in Round 5 of the NRL.
Despite standout moments from youngsters like Luke Laulilii and Jahream Bula, and a highlight-reel try from Sione Fainu, the Tigers couldn’t contain a second-half Broncos blitz led by Xavier Willison and Adam Reynolds.
Brisbane ran in multiple tries after the break, asserting control and sealing a commanding victory on home turf.
