The Broncos had scored four tries in a row before Staggs’ ejection. They fought back from a 30-0 deficit to close the gap to six points. However, the loss of Staggs proved detrimental.

Adam Reynolds also suffered an injury and will miss the next game against Manly. Coach Michael Maguire noted that losing Staggs gave the Roosters a one-man advantage.

Key facts from the match:

• The Roosters scored 30 points while the Broncos managed 24.
• Staggs will miss two games due to suspension.
• The Broncos were down by 30 points before their comeback effort.
• They got within six points after scoring four tries consecutively.
• Deine Mariner returned to play after being injured earlier in the match.

Jared Waerea-Hargreaves commented on the incident, stating, “Yes he did come down with some force on Hugo’s head there with his forearm, it doesn’t look good.” Meanwhile, teammate Pat Carrigan defended Staggs, saying, “Kotoni plays aggressive and I know he wouldn’t have meant to do any harm.”

The Broncos will now prepare for their upcoming match against Manly without key players like Reynolds and Staggs. This situation highlights ongoing challenges for the team as they navigate injuries and suspensions during the season.
