In the NRL Semi-finals
The New Zealand Warriors scored first against the Broncos last night, when Dallin Watene-Zelezniak finished off a slick movement from Shaun Johnson to take an early lead. But the Broncos dominated the rest of their semi-final for a 42-12 win at Suncorp, with Reece Walsh stealing the show.
Yesterday, the Panthers booked a spot in their fourth consecutive grand final after thrashing the Storm 4-38 — their biggest-ever win in a final.
Powerhouse winger Brian To’o bagged a hat-trick, thanks to the smarts of Nathan Cleary and effort of Isaah Yeo.

Ex-UFC star, Jason ‘Mayhem’ Miller has been arrested again.
Miller, was arrested for the twelfth time in the last 12 years following an altercation at a West Hollywood nightclub last month.
