BREAKING NEWS: Broncos hit by injury but ultra impressive against Tigers

Despite facing injury concerns, the Brisbane Broncos showcased their prowess with a commanding 34-10 victory against the Wests Tigers at Campbelltown Stadium in front of a crowd of 17,000 spectators.

## Broncos Overcome Early Missed Chances to Dominate Wests Tigers

The Brisbane Broncos came out of the gates firing in their clash against the Wests Tigers, but early missed opportunities nearly cost them dearly.

### Mariner Scores After Initial Blunder
The Broncos were presented with an early chance when space opened up on the outside for Deine Mariner. However, the winger was unable to capitalize, losing the ball with the try-line wide open. Undeterred, Mariner made amends on his second effort, managing to keep himself in play to score the opening try.

### Broncos Struggle to Execute
The Broncos continued to target the same side of the field, but they just couldn’t seem to get the final pass or kick to stick, denying them further opportunities. Meanwhile, the Tigers’ attack lacked any real potency, and a brain fade from Samuela Fainu led to a yellow card for a professional foul.

### Madden Capitalizes on Broncos Misfortune
It wasn’t long before the Broncos were able to take advantage of their dominance, with an Adam Reynolds kick intended for Reece Walsh instead finding the hands of Jock Madden, who scored for the visitors.

### Disallowed Try Adds to Tigers’ Woes
Despite being thoroughly outplayed, the Tigers thought they had scored a try, only for the bunker to rule it out due to a technicality. This added insult to injury as Reece Walsh then showcased his attacking prowess, scoring a try to give the Broncos a 16-0 lead at the break.

### Broncos Pull Away in the Second Half
The second half started in a similar fashion, with the Broncos continuing their dominance. A dumb penalty from the Tigers gave the Broncos good field position, and they made the most of it as Madden scored his second try of the game.

The Broncos then added another through a well-worked try involving Adam Reynolds and Reece Walsh, extending their lead to 22-0.

### Injuries Mount for Both Sides
As the game wore on, injury concerns began to mount for both teams, with Api Koroisau and Jock Madden both leaving the field. Despite this, the Broncos managed to add one more try through Payne Haas.

### Late Tigers Fightback
Although the Broncos had the game firmly in their grasp, they suffered their own injury concerns, with Reece Walsh and Adam Reynolds both leaving the field. This allowed the Tigers to add some respectability to the scoreline, with two late tries to Charlie Staines closing the gap to 34-10.

### Looking Ahead
Next week, the Tigers will face an important clash against the Bulldogs, while the Broncos will be sweating on the fitness of their key playmakers as they take on the Roosters at Suncorp Stadium.
