🔮 The state of play The equations are pretty simple today: - South Africa is 4-102 with Aiden Markram (45) and Wiaan Mulder (5) at the crease - The Proteas are still 319 runs from an unlikely victory - Australia needs six more wickets - We are supposed to squeeze in 98 overs today The only complicating factor will be whether light will cut the day short as it did on the first three days?

Storm → submit → them

Brisbane has missed 27 tackles as opposed to six for the Storm, according to NRL.com. uncertain

Brisbane → miss → NRL.com

The Storm, though, as evidenced by that last try, are just having a bit of fun. asserted

Storm → evidence → fun

And with players like Sua Fa'alogo, Harry Grant, Jahrome Hughes and Cameron Munster, a bit of off-the-cuff footy could rack up a massive score. uncertain

bit → rack → score

From the scrumbase, Harry Grant gets the ball, banana kick chips in behind for Sua Fa'alogo. asserted

kick → get → Fa'alogo

The initial bounce favours Hayze Perham, but then it takes a wobbly one and he overruns it. asserted

replays → suppose → separation

Key Event Ezra Mam scores on the intercept! asserted

Mam → score → intercept

Broncos → get → off

me → consider → ?

Backing your defence clearly ain't working. asserted

he → skip → it

Beware the second kick A floating Jahrome Hughes bomb is allowed to bounce, the Storm regather through Cooper Clarke and Cameron Munster kicks again out wide, but Josiah Karapani can't mark and it goes into touch off his hands. asserted

it → beware → hands

29' Rough call on the Storm The Broncos load up on one side of the field as they kick off to the right. asserted

they → load → right

Cameron Munster fields it on his knees and flings a pass to Sua Fa'alogo, clearly with an idea towards spinning it left and exploiting the limited number of defenders out there, but it's called forward! asserted

it → field → defenders

Melbourne goes bang bang! asserted

Melbourne → go → ?

Here's a sentence I've never written in a blog before: Trent Loiero's bamboozled the defence with his fancy footwork. asserted

who → get → charge

That try comes after Jordan Riki gave away a silly penalty for hitting Jahrome Hughes as he kicked. asserted

he → come → Hughes

Key Event Simply too easy for the Storm The Raiders last week had some joy attacking down the right and exploiting the defence of Ezra Mam, and now the Storm have joined that party. asserted

Storm → have → party

They spin it right and Sua Fa'alogo turns the ball inside to a flying Nick Meaney to burst through a massive gap between Mam and Payne Haas. asserted

Fa'alogo → spin → Mam

Why is Haas defending there though? asserted

Haas → defend → ?

A back rower should always be a back rower and I don't know why it was Haas in that instance. asserted

it → know → instance

He failed to close the gap fast enough. asserted

He → fail → gap

teams → choose → end

Both sides valuing territory over possession. asserted

sides → value → possession

Broncos roll over the Storm Billy Walters's grubber forces a dropout and the Broncos get it back. asserted

Broncos → roll → it

Wishart → go → centre

Staggs gets the ball at speed, charges through Wishart, bumps off Moses Leo and slams the ball down. 16' asserted

Staggs → get → ball

The Broncos choose to kick off and get the rewards! asserted
