🔮 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?

Brisbane Broncos beat Canterbury Bulldogs 34-20 in Payne Haas's farewell asserted

Broncos → beat → farewell

The Broncos have won a final-round contest against the Bulldogs 34-20, in a game that doubled as superstar prop Payne Haas's farewell from Brisbane. asserted

that → win → Brisbane

Haas scored the opening try as the Broncos notched up their equal highest score of a disappointing 2026 season, tied with their tally from a 34-30 win over the Raiders four weeks earlier. asserted

Broncos → score → Raiders

Halfback Ben Hunt said the team had extra motivation to send Haas out a winner before he heads to South Sydney from 2027. asserted

he → say → 2027

"Payne means a hell of a lot to this club, he really does," Hunt told ABC Sport. asserted

Hunt → mean → Sport

"It's been a very disappointing year, but to come out here tonight, the boys really carried themselves in a great way and really showed up for Payne. asserted

boys → come → Payne

"He deserved the win tonight." asserted

He → deserve → win

The teams were tied 10-10 at half-time, but the Broncos, sparked by Hunt and hooker Billy Walters, exploded after the break with four tries in 15 minutes to jump out to a 24-point lead. asserted

Broncos → tie → lead

Canterbury hit back with tries to Viliame Kikau and Lachlan Galvin, but they could not get close enough to truly challenge the Broncos, who will finish 14th or 15th in their failed premiership defence. uncertain

who → hit → defence

what → submit → Arrow

I can't believe this is how it ends Payne Haas has played his last game in a Broncos jersey (For now, go the cries from Brisbane fans) and he's done it in a dead-rubber in front of 13,000 fans in Sydney. For a duo like him and Pat Carrigan to end like this just feels wrong. And Adam Reynolds is heading for retirement. asserted

Reynolds → believe → retirement

Such a huge part of the core of the 2025 premiership team is gone. asserted

part → go → team

"We had a lot to play for. asserted

We → have → lot

We wanted to finish the year strong. asserted

We → want → year

I expected us to put in our best performance of the year and we were a long way off that. asserted

boys → carry → themselves

79' An absolute bottle job The Broncos have a 4 vs 1 on the right and they manage to bomb it as Hayze Perham throws a no-look pass. asserted

Perham → have → pass

Bulldogs get the kick-off back after a ridiculous bounce The short kick-off is well short, bounces even further back, but then goes forward for two bounces and the Bulldogs regather in front of a shell-shocked Broncos side. asserted

Bulldogs → get → side

The luck is turning. asserted

luck → turn → ?

Key Event Galvin scores and the Dogs are coming Lachie Galvin's grubber takes a deflection and Grant Anderson can't clean up, with the halfback regathering the ricochet to score. asserted

halfback → score → ricochet

Stephen Crichton leaves the conversion wide left, so they still trail 34-20 with five six minutes left. asserted

minutes → leave → conversion

72' Ben Hunt comes up with another play He goes for the 40/20 from dummy half and Connor Tracey is forced to bat it back into play, but he can only knock it dead. But it's a galaxy brain play as it turns out, because they've regathered the short dropout through Jacob Kiraz and got a piggyback penalty for a crusher tackle. asserted

they → come → tackle

The Dogs are over Viliame Kikau scores a brilliant barnstorming try after a monster fend on Tom Duffy. asserted

Kikau → score → Duffy

And the broncos have chosen to receive the kick-off as the Bulldogs finally arrive in the second half. 63' asserted

Bulldogs → choose → half

Anderson → have → ball

He gets caught and spun around by the defence as he looks to offload. asserted

he → catch → defence

Eventually Tom Duffy arrives, but by that point Anderosn has to offload behind his back, and he's thrown it forward! asserted

he → arrive → it

Duffy raced away to score, and only realised it had been called forward after he got up to celebrate. Key Event asserted

he → race → ?

Josiah Karapani is over for another Broncos try This is getting out of hand as the Bulldogs surrender possession and Grant Anderson tip-toes up the sideline to get them flying upfield. asserted

them → get → sideline

Ben Hunt again chips over early in the count and Josiah Karapani catches on the full, but a stumble stops him from scoring. asserted

stumble → chip → him

So he simply reloads and orchestrates a more straightforward left-side shift, ending in a stunning putdown by Karapani. asserted

he → reload → Karapani

His impressive night just gets better. asserted

night → get → ?

The Broncos are pouring it on Ben Hunt comes up with what looks like a little improvisational play, propping off his left foot on the left side of the field to catch the Bulldogs' defence napping. asserted

defence → pour → field

Riki → kick → flank
