St George Illawarra extended their winning streak with a 30-26 victory over the Brisbane Broncos at Suncorp Stadium, as the Broncos’ hopes of making the finals continued to diminish. The Dragons, led by standout performances from Jaydn Su’A and Christian Tuipulotu, secured their sixth consecutive win, a stark contrast to the Broncos’ six-game losing streak.

The packed Suncorp Stadium witnessed the Dragons’ dominance in the first half, as they quickly built a 22-6 lead over the struggling Broncos. Tuipulotu’s hat-trick and Su’A’s exceptional display exemplified the Red V‘s commanding performance.

Ezra Mam‘s try provided a brief glimmer of hope for the Broncos midway through the second half, but the Dragons’ resilience and control of the game proved too much for the home team. Despite valiant efforts from Kotoni Staggs and Tristan Sailor late in the game, the Broncos fell short of a comeback victory.

Former Queensland player Su’A’s stellar performance raised questions about his recent omission from the Origin squad, while the Broncos, a team that reached the grand final last year, now find themselves facing an uphill battle to salvage their season and secure a spot in the finals.

Club legend Corey Parker highlighted the challenges facing the Broncos, emphasizing the need for a collective team effort and improved defensive performances in the upcoming matches. Staggs’ pivotal sin-bin incident, followed by a string of Dragons’ tries, encapsulated the frustrating season for the Broncos.

The Dragons, under the guidance of coach Shane Flanagan, have defied expectations and positioned themselves back in the top eight. Kyle Flanagan’s leadership in the absence of Ben Hunt has been instrumental in the team’s recent success, as they continue to push for a finals berth.

As the NRL season progresses, the Dragons’ resurgence and the Broncos’ struggles serve as compelling narratives in the ongoing competition, setting the stage for an intriguing conclusion to the regular season.
