Brisbane have consigned new arch rivals the Dolphins to their first loss but the narrow victory wasn’t sealed until the final minutes. Read the highlights 👇
Fans in Sydney had no live footy to watch on Friday night, but Queensland put on one hell of a show for those watching at home.The supercoach said it was “incredible” they were still there slugging it out after losing halfback Sean O’Sullivan to a suspected pectoral tear and Kodi Nikorima to a head knock.
Any comeback ended three minutes from full-time when Brisbane centre Kotoni Staggs raced 100m to score, sealing the 18-12 win before pointing to the Suncorp Stadium turf and barking to the crowd: “Our f---ing home”. Bennett added: “We’ve set a standard now, there were 50,000-plus [fans] here tonight, there will be 50,000-plus the next time we play because nobody would have left here tonight disappointed in either side.
Walsh said afterwards about Staggs’ message for the Dolphins fans at the end of the game: “To see Tones’ there at the end, pointing to the soil, it’s a statement that this stadium is ours, and we won’t give it up easy. I’m sure there is [room for two teams in Brisbane].Ouch: Sean O’Sullivan clutches at his injured pec.Walsh was on the Dolphins’ radar last year, only for the New Zealand Warriors to release him on the proviso he did not sign with the new kids on the block.
