BRONCOS’ ACHILLES HEEL EXPOSED AMID WALSH’S MIXED NIGHT
Since their grand final win last year, not a lot has gone right for the Broncos.
The news of Payne Haas’ departure, the World Club Challenge loss, constant speculation about their coach and now, they’ve dropped their first two games of the season.
It’s not the end of the world. This is a team that can turn it around at any point, but there is a major issue that Michael Maguire and his players must rectify quickly.
In two weeks, the Broncos have allowed 66 points, including 40 to the Eels on Thursday night.
Some of the Broncos’ displays and decisions in defence caught the eye of the Late Show with Matty Johns panel.
“Some of the defensive efforts form the Broncos were not good enough,” Johns said.
“There was one from Ezra Mam when Isaiah Iongi scored where Madge would have been going, come on boys where is the commitment?
“They are a team that trusts their attack too much and are careless with the ball and even at full-time it was 40-32 that’s a million miles from what they were doing at the back end of last year.”
“As the attack is coming, they all start to go in different directions, so as soon as one player shoots out the gaps looked so big,” former Origin prop Nate Myles added.
“Their defence hasn’t got the same quality. There is no reassurance when they are moving up.
“And if you keep turning the ball over it doesn’t matter what you do in attack, your defence is going to suffer.
“Any team now if you give them the ball, you are going to be in trouble.”
There were some good signs in attack, but for a team that boasts the star power they do, that’s to be expected.
Simply put, some electric plays with ball in hand isn’t enough to cover up the on-field problems Maguire’s men have.
“At the moment the Broncos are a shadow of the team they were last year,” Bryan Fletcher said.
“When you are the reigning premiers and you get out to a 12-point lead, they should be kicking long and trying to grind out a win.”
It might be harsh to pinpoint him given he had a few moments of brilliance against Parramatta, but fullback Reece Walsh’s inconsistency on Thursday night proved costly as Johns explained.
“Reece Walsh is the most high profile player in the game and he had a mixed night,” Johns said.
“He did some incredible things. The chip and chase there is very few blokes that can do that, but a mixed night and probably typifies the team.”
One of Walsh’s low moments was in defence during Jonah Pezet’s match-sealing try in the final minutes.
“Reece Walsh was nowhere to be seen, he’s clocked off, he’s finished for the night,” Cooper Cronk said on Fox League during the game.

CONTROVERSIAL NRL RULE DRAWS IRE OF COACHES
The NRL’s controversial six again ruling continues to hang over the opening rounds of the 2026 season, drawing the ire of several different teams across the round two weekend.
Confusion reigned at different points on Saturday with separate complaints emerging from both the Cowboys-Tigers and Dragons-Storm games, particularly around what exactly was provoking each set restart.
The uncertainty comes after the NRL reportedly sent clubs and coaches an email earlier this week warning them of a renewed focus on ruck infringements – despite more than 60 different set restarts being awarded in the first round of 2026.
Cowboys captain Tom Dearden was the most pointed in his commentary, revealing he was clueless during a 10-minute spell where North Queensland gave up five different set restarts in their eventual loss to the Wests Tigers.
“The most frustrating bit is you don’t know what it’s for. I know to start the game we had three or four back-to-back, but we had no idea why. It’s not like they’re calling six again and telling us what it’s for,” Dearden said.
“We’re just seeing the arm go up and our job is just to keep turning up. To start the game we had no clue what the six agains were for. We had 12 or 14 tackles in a row to start the game and had no idea what we were doing wrong.”
In its email to teams this week, the NRL warned players to be prepared for additional set restarts in round two.
It comes after the NRL announced off-season changes to the six again rule – including for certain infringements beyond the 20-metre line and tackle count restarts, replacing the previous 40-metre threshold. The changes are aimed at encouraging more time with the ball in play, reducing stoppages from full penalties.
“The referees have reviewed several slow rucks in round one that, upon reflection, should have been a penalty or set restart depending on field position … You can expect a high focus on this area,” the most recent email, obtained by CODE Sports, read.
Cowboys captain Dearden wasn’t alone in his feedback on Saturday. In the Storm’s 46-20 drubbing of St George Illawarra, there were eight set restarts – some of which drew confusion from Craig Bellamy, one of the NRL’s most seasoned coaches.
“I’d have to have a look at the replays again as to why we had those six agains,” Bellamy told reporters.
“We got 1000 of them, you know. We had one set there where we tackled for 15 or 16 tackles. It’s hard to do at this level.
“We just need to fix our discipline up a bit as well. When we have a look at it we’ll see what we need to be better at and we can be better at it.”
Kangaroos coach Kevin Walters believes discipline is key to teams overcoming the high instances of set restarts in 2026.
Speaking on the issue on Big Sports Breakfast last week, Walters said teams needed to embrace the NRL’s new blitz, or risk being left behind.
“They have extended the boundaries for the six-agains, so it does fatigue players in defence, particularly when the six-again is given,” Walters said.
“If it is given early in the tackle count it is not as bad, but when you get to four and five and last tackle and you get to the kick and all of a sudden you have got another set of six, it does change the way the game is played.
“Defensively it changes the way you defend as well, so we will see how that develops over the next couple of weeks, but it was a big thing of note in Round 1 and the importance it has on the game.
“I think players more than anything have got to keep their discipline and not give away those six- against and rather than give away a six-again, give away an extra five or 10 metres in the next play-the-ball.”
Frustrated Payten Seeking clarification | 04:34
NO BROWN, NO PONGA, NO PROBLEM
The Newcastle Knights may be without two of the highest-paid players in the NRL over the next few weeks in Dylan Brown and Kalyn Ponga, but they showed in Round 2 that they can have success without the $2.7 million pair in the side.
Over the past few seasons under former coach Adam O’Brien, the Knights showed they were unable to succeed when Ponga was sidelined with injury.
But it seems like this has now changed.
In the 40 minutes that neither Brown and Ponga were on the field, they limited the Sea Eagles to only a single try and still controlled possession.
In saying that, they will still need to rely heavily on the veterans such as Dane Gagai and Tyson Frizell, as well as former Rooster Sandon Smith, who took the primary attacking duties when the duo exited the field.
“I’ve wrapped plenty, but obviously on Gags (Dane Gagai) he did a great job,” Knights coach Justin Holbrook said.
“(Tolu) Koula was outstanding last week and we had to contain him and he contained him really well for us today.”
Michael Ennis added, “The other positive among all the disappointment was how well Sandon Smith ran the footy side and how big his signing has been.”
“He’s been crying out for an opportunity and I’ve been saying it’s an opportunity to take like what we’ve seen Tanah Boyd do at the Warriors.
“Sandon Smith took complete control in the second half.”
The absence of Brown and Ponga also gives other players the opportunity to step up in their place.
This was shown by the presence of utility Harrison Graham during the second-half of their clash against the Sea Eagles.
Brought in from the Dolphins, the youngster showed that he belongs in the NRL and could be the next man up.
Meanwhile, coach Justin Holbrook is hopeful to have Fletcher Sharpe back next week and this will allow him to join Sandon Smith in the halves.
“One thing that Newcastle have done is the depth and we saw that with Harrison Graham. He was really good, he came down for an opportunity,” Michael Ennis said on Fox League’s Sunday Ticket.
“Phoenix Crossland’s versatility will be paramount over the next two weeks. He may have to play in the halves.
“But Graham showed that he is more than capable of playing long minutes through the middle of the field. The good clubs have that next man-up mentality and the next person gets the job done
Greg Alexander added, “I thought Harrison Graham off the bench was very good.”

CAN LUAI LEAD TIGERS TO BREAK FINALS DROUGHT?
It has been 15 years since the Wests Tigers last tasted finals football, but if Saturday afternoon was anything to go by, they will be playing in September.
Adam Blair, Braith Anasta, Harry Grant, James Tedesco, Luke Brooks and Mitch Moses are just some of the names that were unable to lead the club to success, but within 80 minutes, Jarome Luai showcased that he is ‘the guy’ to get them back into the finals.
After struggling during his first season with the club, Luai entered the 2026 season “on fire” and played arguably his “best game in Tigers colours” against the Cowboys, which saw him reclaim the form that saw him win four premierships with the Panthers.
Partnering Adam Doueihi in the halves, Luai had two try assists, two tackle busts, one line-break, one line-break assist, 60 running metres and even managed to cross the line for a spectacular solo try.
“He has led from the front not just with the ball but also in defence he’s come up with some wonderful tackles,” Kieran Foran said on Fox League.
“But it’s just been how well him and Doueihi have combined, along with Api who are all on the same page and then you throw Jahream Bula in there.”
Commentator Jake Duke chimed in, “He has turned everything into gold … possibly his best game in Tigers colours.”
Scoring 44 points (eight tries and six goals), the Tigers completely dominated their opposition in attack led by the two halves.
“It has been a first-class performance by the Tigers,” Kevin Walters said on Fox League.
Foran added, “They (Luai and Doueihi) complement each other really well. Doueihi’s an ultra-competitive player and he competes on everything. He’s a real steady hand.
“He’s got a great kicking game. He’s obviously a very good communicator. He gets the boys around the park and Jarome Luai looked back to his absolute best.
“Scheming, playing that real off-the-cuff ad lib style of footy. It’s unpredictable, it’s unstructured but between the two of them there’s that great balance. It all just came together for them today.
“You just get a sense that they’ve really started to find their groove under Benji. I just feel there is a real grittiness about their performance. If they can get that right (their defence) they can challenge anyone.”
However, the Tigers were disappointed to let in three tries in the second half. While their opponents were nearly able to strike a comeback, that should excite Tigers fans.
Not because they conceded points but because it is a wake-up call to not fall asleep during moments of the 80-minute contest.
Speaking to Fox League’s Lara Pitt after the match, Luai conceded that this is something that needs to be worked on heading into their next three matches against the Rabbitohs, Warriors and Eels.
“Great atmosphere at Leichhardt sold-out, we fed off their energy but as you can see a bit too many tries there in the second-half but we’ll work on it throughout the year”, Luai said.
“The job wasn’t finished but I can smile now. Footy’s back, we’ve got the two points and we can move on to the next week.”

SUA STUNS AGAIN AS BELLAMY MAKES HUGE CALL AMID A CHEEKY DIG
There’s no doubt about the Storm. They sure can produce a fullback.
Slater, Munster, Papenhuyzen and now the latest No. 1 Sua Fa’alogo.
Across two weeks of the season, no player has been better than Fa’alogo.
He has scored five tries to lead the NRL, including a stunning hat-trick in just 12 minutes on Saturday which literally took the game out of the Dragons’ grasp.
When the Storm announced the shock news in the off-season that Papenhuyzen would be leaving the club, there was some angst among the fanbase that Melbourne might regress following two straight grand final losses.
In addition, star enforcer Nelson Asofa-Solomona was leaving while back rower Eli Katoa would miss 2026 because of a serious head injury.
After two games though, any doubt around the all-conquering Storm has gone and Fa’alogo is a huge reason why, with Melbourne scoring 98 points in Rounds 1 and 2 to sit atop the ladder.
Craig Bellamy thinks the world is Fa’alogo’s oyster and pointed to a couple of reasons behind the improvement this off-season.
“I’ve got no doubt that he can be our fullback for a long time,” Bellamy said.
“He’s got one of the best teachers in Billy Slater who does a lot of work with him during the week.
“This year he turned up in reasonable condition in the pre-season. Last year, I reckon I would have beaten him in the pre-season. That shows a little bit of maturity.
“He’s a really exciting player and I think there’s only improvement in him as he’s got a great mentor in Billy. He couldn’t be in better hands.”
Fa’alogo has always flashed a stack of ability but behind Papenhuyzen, he hasn’t really been given the chance to own the No. 1 jersey and over the past two seasons, he’s been in and out of first grade.
While the early signs of the Fa’alogo era are strong, naturally, there are aspects of the 22-year-old’s game that Bellamy wants to see him work on.
“The big thing for him now is being able to get into the right place at the right time and that experience will come with more game time,” he said.
“I was a little bit disappointed in the first half as I didn’t think he got the ball enough but he fixed that up in the second half and we saw what happened.
“There’s not too many players I’ve seen go hit top pace so quickly in such a short distance and that’s hard to handle.
“We’ve got to try and get him into those positions and he’s got to learn how to get himself into those positions a bit more often.”

RICKY’S HUGE PRAISE FOR OPPOSITE HALF AFTER WARRIORS DEMOLITION
Veteran coach Ricky Stuart labelled up-and-coming half Tanah Boyd as the best player on the ground in the Warriors’ 40-6 thrashing of Stuart’s Raiders on Friday night.
While the Raiders’ new halves pairing of Ethan Sanders and Ethan Strange have basked in the NRL limelight in recent weeks, it was in fact Warriors halfback Boyd who impressed Stuart most after his second-half clinic against the Raiders.
The 25-year-old was relentless at Go Media Stadium, with one try, two try assists and 797 kick metres tearing apart the Raiders’ defence.
Boyd was particularly dangerous with his long-range kicking in slippery conditions against Canberra.
“They’re a very good football team. They showed that tonight. They played very smart in that last 20-25 minutes, and Tanah Boyd was probably the best player on the field,” Stuart said.
“He controlled the game so well with his kicking game, and he was an exceptional tonight, and I thought he played real well.
“We knew we were going to be playing a good footy team, (Andrew Webster) is a good coach, and he’s done a really good job.”
Boyd’s performance was central to the Warriors piling on four tries against the Raiders in the final 20 minutes of the match. It followed a similarly impressive outing for Boyd in the Warriors’ upset win over the Roosters in Round One.
The Penrith-born half spent six seasons at the Gold Coast Titans before moving across to the Warriors for the 2025-2026 seasons. He is currently on an open prospect for 2027 and beyond, and has been mentioned in discussions with the Perth Bears.
The Warriors will look to continue their strong start to 2026 on Saturday night, travelling to Newcastle for their first away game of the season against the Knights.

Stuart: ‘They were a quality side’ | 02:32
SOUTHS HALVES HEADACHE OVERSHADOWS JOHNSTON’S HISTORIC NIGHT
The Rabbitohs have a halves headache on their hands after Alex Johnston’s historic record breaking night was overshadowed by a loss to arch rivals the Roosters.
Johnston was mobbed by fans after scoring his 213th try to break Ken Irvine’s longstanding mark, but after getting it back to 12-12 after trailing 12-0, Souths faded to lose the game.
The syndesmosis injury to Ashton Ward, who is out for eight weeks and the suspension to Jamie Humphreys saw Jayden Sullivan start in the No. 7 jersey against the Roosters.
And while Cody Walker is back to full fitness and playing well on their lethal left edge, Souths’ attack on the right left much to be desired against the Roosters.
Late in the game they moved Jack Wighton to the halves, with Sullivan replaced after a poor showing, which saw him make 19 run metres and no try or linebreak involvements.
Walker was also off his best with three errors and three penalties conceded and Cooper Cronk feels Souths need to find a halfback to take the pressure off Walker having to do it all.
“I don’t think Sullivan was giving much to be fair,” Cronk said.
“Jack Wighton is a running threat. He came in and added that try assist to Campbell Graham.
“They have got to find another half because if you look at South Sydney’s left-hand side, if you stop their left side, you stop Souths.
“On the right-hand side Tallis Duncan is a good back-rower, Campbell Graham and Jack Wighton are good players. They need to find a half that when Tedesco lines up on one side of the field, they have got a shot caller that can take the ball the other side of the field and they can take advantage of it.
“They have got enough fire power down that side, but they need a shot caller that can take the ball off Cody Walker.”
Bennett: “We all know how special it is” | 08:27
Humphreys will return from suspension against the Tigers next week and will likely be piloted straight into the No. 7 jersey, which will be Souths’ third halfback in as many weeks.
Bennett is reluctant to change his halves unless necessary, but Sullivan is under pressure after a poor display and Souths need more control in the chief playmaker role.
After Johnston’s record try Wayne Bennett could be seen in a rare fiery spray of his team in the sheds, which caught Braith Anasta’s eye.
“You saw in the break when Wayne Bennett came down to the sheds and you could tell that he was worried about complacency,” Anasta said.
“He said he didn’t want the fans to storm the field. You rarely see Bennett like this going down to the sheds during play and just barking orders.
“You could tell he was concerned and he wanted to get them in the right frame of mind to back out and get the job done.”
Broncos skipper Adam Reynolds played plenty of footy under Bennett and believes his spray was about getting his players to focus on their jobs.
“He would have been telling the group that he wants them to go on with the job and get the job done,” Reynolds said.
“You don’t really see him get into the huddle too often like that.
“When he can sense something he will. He is a very good judge of reading the room and that there was a big moment to he wanted to get the group in and galvanise them and get them focused again.
“They came out and started the second half to an extent they would be happy with but they didn’t go on with it.”
There were several good signs in the opening round win against the Dolphins, but with that said, they clocked off on occasion.
That was evident again in the Roosters clash, with Cronk believing Bennett’s spray was to help his “flighty” side keep their mind on the job,
“I thought it was a good thing that Wayne Bennett was telling his players you need to be dialled in and focused,” Cronk said.
“From seeing that I thought Bennett had them under control. But then the way they came out and played, I think he knows he has got a flighty team.
“When they are on they are going to be great, but when they are down, they are going to come up with errors that really puts them under pressure.
“I think Bennett needs another four to six weeks to find their rhythm a bit and then they might be a better team, but at the moment there might be some ups and downs.”

DCE ANSWERS CRITICS WITH BOUNCE-BACK PERFORMANCE IN ROOSTERS WIN
A week after he struggled in his Roosters debut in a convincing 42-18 loss to the Warriors, Daly Cherry-Evans answered his critics in a bounce-back performance against the Bunnies.
There were fears after Round 1, that Cherry-Evans was a defensive liability with Sam Walker also needing to improve in that area and doubts were raised around the signing of the former Manly skipper.
However, Cherry-Evans showed there is still some fight in the old dog yet, with a starring display in the Roosters’ 26-18 win.
While it wasn’t perfect, Cherry-Evans looked far more in control and busy to finish with 36 run metres, a linebreal, two tackle busts, a try assist and his first try in Roosters colours.
Kevin Walters noted the improvement in Cherry-Evans’ game and called the pressure on him after one loss unfair.
“He was a lot better and I particularly liked his defence,” Walters said.
“They went at him a fair few times on that left edge and they seemed to handle it pretty well.
“He kicked well and I just thought he was in the game a lot more too.
“He picked up a try. That was his first try in Roosters colours and he had a run late in the game that was quite incisive, so he was much better last night.
“I think it was always going to be tough for him last week when he comes form a team he has been at for 15 years at Manly and he is in different colours, different dressing room, different players.
“He has got that out of the way now and he made some big improvements against Souths.”
Braith Anasta noted that Cherry-Evans was brought to the Roosters to ice the big moments, which he did in scoring a try and setting up the match sealing try for James Tedesco with a pinpoint kick.
“Halves are brought to clubs for big moments and tonight he got that right,” Anasta said.
Cooper Cronk agreed that Cherry-Evans is not at the club to be the best player on the field every game, but he was brought to the club to turn close losses into wins with his big match experience.
“He was under pressure and he is not going to be the best player for the Roosters every week,” Cronk said.
“He is not going to win the Dally M this year, but if a moment comes and he can step forward and influence the outcome of the game for the team, I think that is a good thing.
“And if he can lead Tedesco and Walker to be the main guys to come up with the big plays, I think that’s his influence and his fingerprints on the team.
“But I thought he was influential tonight. He ran the ball and when the game needed someone to step up and make a good decision he did that.
“I probably would have ran the ball, but he kicked it and set up a try for Tedesco, so he made the right call.”
“We all thought he was just going to run it into the corner, but his communication with Teddy saw him go for the try,” Broncos halfback Adam Reynolds added on Fox League.
“I thought he chose his moments well tonight. He set up a try and scored one with his running game. He had some classy touches and had a few repeat sets, so a big improvement on last week.”
Cherry-Evans and the Roosters will get an even sterner test when they face the red hot Panthers in Round 3.

CAN CRONULLA GET THE MONKEY OFF THEIR BACK?
The Cronulla Sharks may consistently be one of the best-performing teams in the competition, but they have continued to struggle when it comes to facing clubs that are better than them.
This was illustrated once again on Saturday night, falling to the Panthers in a completely one-sided performance in Bathurst.
Only scoring one try throughout the entire match after demolishing the Gold Coast Titans the week before, the Sharks players looked exhausted by the time hit the 60-minute mark and they were unable to conjure anything in attack with Braydon Trindall and Nicho Hynes at the helm.
Australian Kangaroos coach and Fox League analyst Kevin Walters said, “It’s a bit of a lesson about the basics and staying on task. They’ll get better the Sharks.”
“They just haven’t had what it takes. They were out of answers in the end,” commentator Dan Ginnane added.
Steve Roach agreed, “It’s starting to worry me. You get into 60 minutes and your behind on the scoreboard and just start to think, oh not again and it just happens to many times for this Sharks side.”
Unfortunately, this isn’t new for the Sharks.
Despite making back-to-back preliminary finals in 2024 and 2025, they have been unable to get to the final dance.
Their record in the regular season against the likes of the Panthers, Storm and defending premiers Brisbane Broncos is also worrying, and it seems that every time they are defeated by these teams, they lose confidence.
“Sharks will play finals but their record when they come up against the Storm and the Panthers that’s the thing they need to win,” Cooper Cronk said.
“They need to get confidence from winning against them in the regular season so when they face them in a prelim final they believe they can go to any stadium and get the job done.
“There was a lack of class touches from Trindall and Hynes but I’ll tell you what, when they play teams below them on the ladder they’ll beat them up.
“It’s just they need to get closer to those top two, three teams to give themselves confidence and belief that they can do it.”
To make matters worse for the Sharks, 2026 is the last hurrah for the club as several players run off-contract, including Cam McInness, Jesse Ramien and Will Kennedy.
Meanwhile, Siosifa Talakai is already confirmed to be joining the Perth Bears.
“I think when guys are off-contract it either makes or breaks you,” multi-time premiership winner Jared Waerea-Hargreaves said.
“There’s added pressure there but there’s extra motivation and they should be playing great footy together and they should be striving for the premiership.”
Cronk added, “From a club point of view if you get to three prelim finals and don’t win, something’s got to change too.”

MANLY’S ‘INSIPID’ EFFORT SLAMMED AS PRESSURE BUILDS ON SEIBOLD
Respected rugby league analyst and Penrith Panthers premiership captain Greg Alexander has blasted the Manly Sea Eagles, calling their showing against the Knights as “one of the most insipid performances” he has ever watched in his career.
Despite having multiple State of Origin and international representatives on their side, the Sea Eagles were only able to score one try against a depleted Knights side.
Not only were the Knights without Dylan Brown and Kalyn Ponga due to injury, but their absence meant they were only able to use two middle forwards in their rotation.
“They didn’t even come close to winning. It was one of the most insipid performances I’ve seen from a team,” Greg Alexander said on Fox League.
“They got through eight sets in the second-half. Newcastle were there to be beaten but Manly could not take advantage of it.”
Despite Alexander’s comments, Sea Eagles coach Anthony Seibold remains confident the club will turn its season around after the bye in Round 4.
Knights win but lose Ponga & Brown | 03:03
“One thing we won’t do is panic or change our schedule. We’re very well prepared and well planned. I’ve been 0-2 before and been the top-four side as a coach,” Seibold said.
“Look, the really good teams in the competition win at 60%, the good teams win at 50% and so there’s another 22 games to go.
“We need to show far more improvement than what we showed today but I’ve got a lot of faith in the group.”
The performance turns up the pressure on Seibold, who entered the season on the coaching hot seat.
The Sea Eagles have the bye next week to stew on the awful effort against the Knights but they will have their work cut out for them the following week when they take on the Roosters in Round 4 before a clash against the dangerous Dolphins.
