Latest Team Stats

10th min: Dragons are in again! This time it's Dan Atkinson grubbering ahead to himself and running through the line to touch the ball down. Broncos fullback Reece Walsh was in-field having earlier made a tackle and was making his way back to his position. The Dragons have been able to attack their line thanks to multiple errors from the home side. Holmes converts and it's 12-0.

6th min: First points for the Dragons! Valentine Holmes gets the scoring started for the Dragons, with a big swan dive over the line, taking an offload from Hamish Stewart with the Broncos kept in two minds in defence of their line. Started with a big play from Dylan Egan who stripped the ball from Pat Carrigan to get the ball back for his team. He converts his own try for a 6-0 lead.

Kick off: Dragons have first use of the ball on a sunny Sunday for footy at Suncorp Stadium.
