NRL LIVE: Star duo link up in 90-metre try as blistering Broncos take ...

The Broncos have survived their first test without Adam Reynolds, securing a 30-14 win over the Eels.

Reynolds suffered a ruptured biceps last week and will miss three months. But in his absence Ezra Mam stepped up to steer his side to a much-needed win after a horror Round 9 loss to the Roosters.

The Eels had a spirited start to the game and were first on the scoreboard via a penalty goal, but the Broncos — after losing Billy Walters to a wrist injury — hit back with two tries in eight minutes.

A poor pass from Eels rookie Ethan Sanders opened up the door for the Broncos. Ezra Mam scooped it up and combined with Reece Walsh to score a thrilling 90-metre try.

Deine Mariner backed it up with a try after skipping around defenders, before capitalising off another Eels error on the stroke of half time to run 70 metres and score his second.

19-year-old Eels fullback Blaize Talagi, who was starting in his first game at fullback, had a nice moment when he crossed for a try in between the Mariner double.

The second half kicked off with a bang when Dylan Brown came up with a one-on-one steal to score — a play that Fox League’s Greg Alexander called “magical.”

But the Eels were brought back down to earth when Mam identified that Talagi was pushing up in the defensive line and so put a chip kick over the top to score.

They extended their lead four minutes later when Selwyn Cobbo managed to ground a Walsh grubber centremtres out from the dead ball line.
