The Brisbane Broncos comfortably lead the NRLW for points scored, but it’s their work without the ball that is most satisfying for coach Paul Dyer.
“I don’t think it was intentional. Sometimes you do fall like that. ‘Izzy’ was there when it happened and apologised to Meg and that’s how she is, [great] sportsmanship there,” Brigginshaw said.
“So I don’t think much of it.”
Dyer said he will ponder the prospect of resting players next weekend depending on whether the Warriors beat the Dragons tonight to confirm Brisbane a Grand Final spot.
“We have some quality players that haven’t had a run in this competition yet so I’m really excited to potentially give them a chance to play next week in Melbourne,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Roosters – one of the heavy pre-tournament favourites – are in disarray after back-to-back losses.
Having mustered only two tries across two matches, the solution was simple for coach Adam Hartigan when asked what the team needs to do better.
“Probably score some more points. We’ve got a good attacking side, we feel that we’ve recruited [well] and we’re just starting to come together,” Hartigan said.
Making matters worse after the latest defeat, key Sydney prop Ruan Sims will undergo scans to determine the extent of a thumb injury while captain Simaima Taufa sustained a knee issue.
“There's a concern for Simaima,” Hartigan said.
“There's a chance that Ruan broke her thumb in the first 10 minutes of the game and played on. We won't know until we get an X-ray.”
