You're winning by 6 so you go for a short drop out?

Is this really the NRL GF?

The mania of going short is a cancer on the game.

Will Walsh step up to mark again?

Well, that was almost a start.

[bratman]

Brisbane right back in it!

[17 stone giant]

Amazing pass by Walsh. I missed why that was ruled out? Was it forward?

[Irish Saint]

Broncos denied Walsh pass to Karapani was forward..

But he got it right this time, as Mariner gets his second try of the GF.

[bratman]

Walsh has been fantastic

[wakeyranger]

How good has Ezra been since coming on.

[marklaspalmas]

Incredible game so far. Gripping stuff.

A bit of everything

Does anyone else find the announcing weighing in all the time to urge fans of one of the team to ''make some noise'' inappropriate and over the top? Stick to announcing and don't be a stage manager.

Very open game.

He's also explaining the game. It's the NRL GF ffs, I think they know it's a 7 tackle set!

[Irish Saint]

Walsh misses from sideline Stirm 22-20 24 minutes remain.

[Futtocks]

Shibasaki in again - what a turnaround!

[bratman]

Wow! Melbourne have fallen apart!

Yeah, it's way over the top. I find that it actually detracts from an amazing occasion. Let the images speak, and tell the crowd the important things that an announcer details.

Bellamy is going to explode. This defence is so un Storm like.

[marklaspalmas]

And there it is.

Broncos hit the front

Amazing 

Don't write off Storm 

[wakeyranger]

Walsh and Mam making all the difference 

[Spotty Herbert]

Shibasaki making his way to a Kangaroo tour spot?

Edited October 5 by Spotty Herbert

Into last quarter Broncos 26 -22.

[17 stone giant]

Walsh looks amazing but he hasn't played for Australia yet, so who have they got that is better than him?

Tedesco and Edwards. But he will play in the Ashes.

[Maximus Decimus]

Walsh is totally owning Papenhuysen.

[Irish Saint]

Into last 10 minutes.

[Futtocks]

Hunt's in trouble now!

[MZH]

Brave from Ben Hunt. Thankfully it was spotted before he was able to be involved in another tackle.
