NRL 2020: Fans and commentators react to Kotoni Staggs 80m try in Broncos loss to Dragons

A player who would not look out of place in a NSW Blues jersey, Staggs once again showed why he is one of the hottest young talents in the game with an incredible run early in the second half of the Broncos clash with the St George Illawarra Dragons.

After a horror start where the Broncos conceded two incredibly soft early tries, Brisbane showed some character to fight back into the match.

Fox League commentator Dan Ginnane called it a ‘diabolical start’ but once the Broncos got into the game, they actually started to look alright, earning repeat sets and scoring through Richard Kennar.

Corey Paix brought it back to 12-all.

Although the Dragons reinstated the six-point lead by the halftime break, the Broncos were right in the match.

But despite the solid performance, the Broncos again fell short as the Dragons claimed a thriller 28-24.

Close but no cigar for the Broncos.

Commentators were then stunned when the Broncos ran passing and defensive drills in the sheds at halftime.

“I had to ask if this was live?” Johnathan Thurston said on Channel 9.

“This a halftime break, normally you‘re looking to get your breath and just make sure everyone’s calm and ready for the second half. I couldn’t believe the scenes I just saw.

Vautin added: “Never seen that anywhere in rugby league in 50 years”.

"Never seen that ANYWHERE in Rugby League in 50 years!"
