“Our basis issues with Suncorp Stadium are the wi-fi and the replay screens”, Betros told the Daily Telegraph.

The Brisbane Broncos thrashed the Sydney City Roosters 31-12 to advance to next weekend’s Australian National Rugby League (NRL) grand final.

Hodges waved away concerns over the tackle after Friday’s game, insisting it was only made risky by Guerra jumping while the Broncos skipper was holding onto his leg.

Guerra gave evidence on behalf of Hodges.

Hodges says he will definitely play against North Queensland on Sunday, but has to monitor a sore back.

“I think he will be fine, if you slow it down you can see he does flex his muscle and sort of jumped”, he said, on Sunday Triple M NRL.

‘I’m just relieved I get to play one more game’.

While still at the peak of their powers, Bennett noted that Father Time will eventually catch up on 33-year-old Parker, 30-year-old Thaiday and 29-year-old Blair and next week’s decider represented their best chance at glory after years of waiting in the grand final wilderness.

Yes, I know, the Cowboys conceded zero points against Cronulla in week two of the finals, but that was understandable because the Sharks literally had nothing.

“I wonder if reasonable is going to govern which typically tackle”, he was quoted saying when meet on Friday.

After being repeatedly asked, Hodges said the tackle did end in a risky position but claimed he did not contribute to it.

‘Well I’m still able bodied, ‘ Guerra replied. After the hearing Hodges denied that Guerra had been bending the truth.

“Without player Guerra’s contribution there is no way that he could have got into a unsafe position”, he said.
