Brisbane Broncos secured victory after trailing, taking the lead in the 57th minute.

With a few minutes to go at Stadium Australia on Sunday night, the Brisbane Broncos found themselves in a familiar position - minutes away from glory and nervously staring up at the clock on the big scoreboard. The ghosts of 2015 and 2023 firmly in their minds, it was as nervous a setting you could find given the Broncos were winning, and the crowd was about 90 percent draped in maroon, gold, and white.

As had been the case in week one of the finals against Canberra and last weekend against Penrith, Michael Maguire's team found themselves down by double digits. The only difference was they didn't wait too long to run down their opponents, instead taking the lead in the 57th minute and never letting go.
