    Taylor shines as Titans stun big brother Broncos
    http://www.nrl.com

    The Titans have sent the Broncos' season into a dire spiral with an Ash Taylor masterclass inspiring a dominant 30-12 win at Suncorp Stadium on Saturday night.

    The Broncos were booed off at half-time by a crowd of 6262 when they trailed 22-0 after being ambushed by the Gold Coast. Former Brisbane captain Justin Hodges was in a state of shock as he crossed to the Fox Sports studios.

    "This is the first time I have ever heard a Brisbane Bronco side booed off at half-time," Hodges said.

    t was the Titans' biggest winning margin over the Broncos in their history and now Anthony Seibold’s team faces the dire prospect of being in last place at the end of round seven if the Bulldogs beat Wests Tigers on Sunday.

    To compound Brisbane’s woes Matt Lodge hobbled off in the 65th clutching his left knee.

    Taylor owned the first half with his kicking game on song. He had plenty of mates with Jai Arrow, Sam Lisone, Moeaki Fotuaika and Keegan Hipgrave at their destructive best.

    The Titans were hungrier from the kick-off and it showed.

    Corey Oates, who had a first-half shocker, was tackled into touch before offloading and from the ensuing scrum the Titans made the Broncos pay with Taylor diving over from close range.

    Titans back-rower Hipgrave had a powerhouse start to the game and a smart one. In one five-minute stanza Hipgrave jolted the ball out of Oates' grasp with a cruncher. He then won a penalty with a quick play the ball and the Titans surged into Broncos territory.

    Hipgrave then tipped on a pass like a classy outside back for veteran winger Anthony Don to show all his experience to score in the corner.

    Taylor’s kicking game was causing all sorts of problems for the Broncos back three and a towering bomb was spilled by Tesi Niu. Tyrone Peachey swooped and found a rampaging Lisone to score under the sticks and make it 16-0.

    Fotuaika was sin-binned three minutes from half-time but the Titans rallied with powerhouse defence to repel them.

    The last play of the half was a nightmare for debutant Niu who spotted an overlap on the left. His pass for Oates found Don instead who ran 60 metres to score untouched and give the Titans a stunning 22-nil lead.

    The Broncos needed something special to start the second half and after four sets of six it took veteran Ben Te’o to provide it when he barged over from close range with late feet.

    Taylor landed a penalty to give the Titans a 24-6 lead but the Gold Coast allowed Brisbane back into the game with silly penalties.

    After more back-to-back sets Brodie Croft grubbered for Farnworth to score and the Broncos had a glimmer of hope.

    It was soon snuffed out by Titans hunger and Brisbane ineptitude.

    Croft kicked out on the full after points and the Titans, courtesy of Taylor, made them pay again with a penalty goal minutes later.

    Taylor iced the win with a brilliant cut-out pass for Sami to score a winger’s special and punish surely one of the worst Broncos sides in their 32-year history.

    One of the best games I’ve seen in a long time. So happy with that. Ash was phenomenal.

    I'll gladly take the result, but I didn't think we played all that well, even in the first half.

    If Corey Thompson, and then Sami didn't stop that early try that the Broncos bombed, I think we would be looking at a completely different game.

    I thought Rein played well and got us on the front foot. Also think we might really have something in Joliffe.

    On the negative side, I can't rant enough about Wallace. As others on here have mentioned, his first tackle in the game - repeat set, second tackle - repeat set, fourth tackle - falls off Teo allowing Broncos their first 2nd half points since the comp restarted. And then later in the game he gives a penalty on last tackle as Broncos are bringing the ball off their own line. Absolute dud!!!

    Anyway, great to beat the Broncos. Hopefully we can go an a bit of a run as we have a decent draw for the next 3 rounds.

    Ash Taylor leads the way in Gold Coast’s 30-12 win over Brisbane
    https://www.couriermail.com.au/

    Ash Taylor’s career was on the brink this time last year. But in Gold Coast’s remarkable win over the Broncos, the Titans halfback looked like a million-dollar man.

    Ash Taylor burst back to life as the Gold Coast Titans heaped more misery on the under-fire Broncos in a record win at Suncorp Stadium.

    Taylor found a shot of confidence with a 14–point haul to guide the Titans off the bottom of the NRL ladder in a 30-12 victory for the Gold Coast.

    After spending the first decade of their existence in the NRL as Brisbane’s little brother, the Titans have now won their past three matches at Suncorp Stadium against the Broncos.

    And few games between the south east Queensland rivals have been sweeter than this for the Titans, with the Gold Coast racking up their biggest ever win against Brisbane.

    Often maligned halfback Taylor was sensational in a Titans team that proved effort can take you further than talent.

    “I really liked the way we went about everything,” said Titans coach Justin Holbrook.

    “We asked some questions with the footy and defended great. I was really impressed.

    “I’ve been confident every week. I feel like we prepare to perform at our best. I knew we had to play well.

    “The effort from the whole side was what we needed and what we got. We got it right tonight.”

    They shocked the bumbling Broncos to lead 22-0 at halftime, prompting furious Brisbane fans in the 6262 crowd to boo their team off the paddock at the break.

    At halftime the gulf in statistics was incredible.

    The Titans had the bulk of possession (58 per cent) and capitalised on it with an 83 per cent completion rate compared to Brisbane’s 53 per cent.

    The Gold Coast charged for 836m compared to Brisbane’s 514m and were led sensationally by young prop Moeaki Fotuaika and lock Jai Arrow.

    What cannot be measured on paper is effort, enthusiasm and desire, and that is exactly what the Titans produced in droves.

    They ran faster, tackled harder and didn’t stop trying to make a difference for the entire opening 40 minutes and were rewarded with a healthy halftime lead.

    The Titans’ effort was excellent from the onset, fullback Corey Thompson stopping Herbie Farnworth from scoring a certain try before the Gold Coast bundled Corey Oates into touch.

    The Oates play proved pivotal when Taylor barged over from close range to stun the Broncos and it was 10-0 after 20 minutes when The Bunker controversially awarded Anthony Don a four-pointer.

    When Sam Lisone burrowed over the Titans were up 16-0 and not even the controversial sin-binning of Fotuaika late in the first half could stop their momentum as Don plucked an intercept to open up a 22-0 lead at the break.

    The Broncos hit back in the second half with tries to Ben Te’o and Farnworth but two penalty goals to Taylor and a late try to winger Phillip Sami sealed the victory.

    FIVE THINGS WE LEARNED
    by Peter Badel

    1. Broncos halfback Brodie Croft has to be dropped. The Storm recruit started the season well but he has been poor in the past five weeks. Brisbane were mounting a comeback when Croft’s kick out on the full in the second half broke their momentum. The Broncos look rudderless. If he can’t handle the pressure moments, he should be axed in favour of Tom Dearden.

    2. The Broncos board have to consider sacking Anthony Seibold. Brisbane have now lost five straight and if the Bulldogs beat the Tigers today, the Broncos will be last on percentages. Brisbane’s players have no confidence, no self-belief and no desire. If the Broncos miss the finals, which appears certain, Seibold can’t survive, regardless of his much-touted five-year contract.

    3. Ash Taylor produced his best game for the Titans in two years. Mentally broken, Taylor almost quit the NRL last year but the Titans playmaker recaptured his mojo against his former Broncos club. Taylor opened the scoring with a solo try and had the ball on a string with his kicking game. Taylor clearly outpointed Broncos rival Anthony Milford.

    4. How the Titans lost Jai Arrow to South Sydney next year is beyond belief. The Queensland Origin workhorse is the heart and soul of the Titans’ pack and he personified their spirit last night with a willing display. Arrow repeatedly charged into his former teammates and relished the dirty work in midfield.

    5. Broncos rookie Tesi Niu had a mixed night in his starting debut at fullback. The 18-year-old showed some nice footwork at times but he made three errors, including an intercept pass for Anthony Don’s try which gave the Titans a 22-0 lead at halftime.

    NRL 2020: Brisbane Broncos go down to Gold Coast Titans 30-12
    https://www.couriermail.com.au/

    Big Brother no more. The Broncos have been met with boos by their own fans at halftime, hitting rock bottom as the club fell to their fifth straight loss to the last placed Gold Coast Titans.

    For 32 years, the Broncos have been Queensland’s flagship club.

    Now, they are a deadset embarrassment.

    Besieged Brisbane coach Anthony Seibold is fighting to save his job after the Broncos crashed to their fifth consecutive loss with a pathetic 30-12 derby defeat to the pumped-up Titans.

    The Big Brother Broncos had their pants pulled down by a Titans team that led from start to finish, running harder, playing tactically smarter and tackling with a spirit that painted Seibold’s troops as a passionless rabble.

    The Titans ambushed Brisbane with four first-half tries for a 22-0 halftime lead and withstood a brief fightback to bury the Broncos when Phillip Sami crossed in the dying minutes.

    If the Bulldogs beat the Tigers today, the mighty Broncos — the richest club in the league with unmatched resources — will be dead last on percentages.

    What a disgrace.

    This performance was so insipid that Brisbane’s 6262 fans booed them off at halftime, prompting former skipper Justin Hodges to say: “I’ve never ever seen a Broncos team booed off.”

    The Broncos board on Friday pledged their support for Seibold at a three-hour meeting but if there is any strong governance at the club, the Brisbane coach has to be axed if the glamour club misses the finals.

    A playoffs implosion appears a mere certainty, with Brisbane’s third consecutive loss to the Titans at Suncorp compounded by the loss of senior prop Matt Lodge to a knee injury.

    Seibold says his five-year contract is designed to give him time to build a dynasty but no Broncos coach gets such latitude.

    Brisbane sacked Wayne Bennett with a 64 per cent win ratio in 2018. Seibold’s current win rate is a paltry 40 per cent.

    Of equal concern is Brisbane’s general demeanour. They have no direction in the halves, no spirit in midfield and seemingly no faith in their underfire coach’s ability to stop the rot.

    On paper, the Broncos have more talent but the Titans simply played with more enthusiasm and wanted victory more.

    Based on this F-grade stuff, Seibold must find it hard to mount an argument that he hasn’t lost the dressing room.

    The Titans ran and defended like it was a grand final. By contrast, the Broncos looked as flat as a McDonald’s hot cake in the opening stanza.

    Intensity aside, the Broncos have simply not coped with the recalibrated style of football since the restart of the NRL premiership after the two-month COVID hiatus.

    The one-referee system and six-again rules have created a faster paced game and several bigger Broncos forwards, such as Matt Lodge and Joe Ofahengaue, are being tested laterally, especially against second-phase football.

    Reeling at 22-0 at halftime, the Broncos came alive in the second half. Two tries in 10 minutes to Ben Te’o (49th) and Herbie Farnworth (59th) whittled the deficit to 24-12, setting up a tense final quarter.

    But the Titans held their nerve to leave Seibold facing a nervous future.
