Broncos spoil Gallen's 300th
The Brisbane Broncos have defeated the Cronulla Sharks 32-10 at Suncorp Stadium, in Paul Gallen's 300th NRL match.
But there was no champagne popping for Gallen, who was booed every time he touched the ball by the 34,552-strong crowd.
The Sharks were expected to lift for Gallen, whose 300th game as a one-club player puts him behind only Cronulla legend Andrew Ettingshausen (328).
The visitors had been desperate to get their top-four campaign back on track after last round's loss to Canberra.
But nothing could inspire a flat Sharks who could slip as far as sixth on the ladder after their second-straight defeat.
It snapped Cronulla's three-game winning run at Suncorp Stadium, marking the Broncos' first victory over the Sharks since 2011 in Brisbane.
