  "account": "The Brisbane Broncos advanced into their fifth consecutive NRLW grand final after defeating the Gold Coast Titans 20-8 in the preliminary final. The Broncos, led by Ali Brigginshaw, now hold a perfect record in all four grand finals they have contested. Their relentless performance saw them take a commanding 20-4 lead in the first half, dominating the game across the board. The Titans, however, were unable to maintain their previous winning streak of 10 matches. Brisbane's star players, Tamika Upton, Jesse Southwell, and Romy Teitzel, shone in the second half, with Upton breaking through the Titans defense and Teitzel showcasing her powerful playing style. The Titans, under coach Karyn Murphy, managed to score a try in the second half through Julia Robinson, but it was not enough to overcome Brisbane's defense. Titans full-back Lily Patston had to leave the game with a category one HIA in the second half, further adding to the Broncos' victory. This was Brigginshaw's final appearance as a Broncos player before retiring.",
