A Jed Stuart error gives Brisbane the first chance of the night in attacking territory but it fizzles out when Xavier Willison drops it cold during a play-the-ball.
The Broncos’ next trip down Canberra’s end is more successful, Grant Anderson forcing a dropout with a nice grubber that traps Ethan Strange in the in-goal.
Ethan Sanders sends it long from the dropout, but it still only takes a couple of tackles for Brisbane to get onto Canberra’s 10-metre line, then Billy Walters senses some laziness at marker, shapes to pass it to Payne Haas and runs it himself, beating a couple of defenders to score.
With Reece Walsh injured, his replacement at fullback Hayze Perham kicks the first goal of the game.
Broncos 6, Raiders 0 after 10 minutes
