Broncos into fifth NRLW grand final after toppling Titans

The Brisbane Broncos have advanced to their fifth consecutive NRLW grand final, defeating the Gold Coast Titans 20-8 in the preliminary final. This marks the fifth time the Broncos have reached a grand final, with each appearance ending in victory. The Broncos' Ali Brigginshaw, a legendary player, will be retiring after this match.

The Broncos dominated from the start, taking a 20-4 lead in the first half with four tries. Titans lock Sienna Lofipo was injured in the half, a significant blow to the team. The Broncos' Tamika Upton, Jesse Southwell, and Romy Teitzel showcased their experience, with Upton scoring a try despite the Titans' discipline letting them down early with penalties.

Southwell, playing as a second-rower, turned Teitzel back on the inside, creating space for a try. Teitzel, a standout player, excelled throughout the match, and Isa ako contributed with a crucial grubber kick. The Titans, under coach Karyn Murphy, had a strong season but fell short in the grand final.
