Broncos out-gun brave Knights
The Brisbane Broncos have come from behind to defeat a brave Newcastle Knights outfit 34-22 at Hunter Stadium in Round 19.
The loss marked the eighth time this season the Knights have blown a half-time lead, as they inch even closer to a third consecutive wooden spoon through their seventh straight loss.
The win moved the Broncos provisionally back into the top four, ahead of Manly's clash with the Wests Tigers on Sunday.
Five-eighth Anthony Milford also got through the McDonald Jones Stadium match unscathed on his return from a shoulder dislocation.
After they trailed by six at the break, the Broncos scored three tries in their first four sets after half-time, the first of which was a 70-metre effort from centre James Roberts.
However, after Chanel Mata'utia and Dane Gagai crossed in short time, the Knights were back within two points with 15 minutes to play.
Gagai was terrific for the Knights just three days after claiming the Wally Lewis Medal as player of the Origin series, as he ran 164 metres and broke five tackles in the loss.
But he gave away their best chance to reclaim the lead when he broke free from a Brisbane error, only to pass the ball straight to opposition forward Adam Blair.
Former Knight Korbin Sims and winger Jonus Pearson sealed the match for Brisbane in the final 10 minutes.
