Ben Hunt scored a try after the scores were locked at 18-all at Suncorp Stadium, dummying past Warriors-bound fullback Roger Tuivasa-Scheck to send the crowd into raptures.

Both teams had opportunities to kick a winning field goal but it was Hunt who won the match to give the Broncos their fifth straight win.

Meanwhile the Cronulla Sharks ended a run of 10 successive NRL home defeats with a comfortable 22-6 win over the Newcastle Knights.
