The Cowboys proved too strong over the NRMA Insurance Brisbane Broncos with a 32-8 win in tonight’s trial at Dolphin Oval.

Down  16-4 at the halftime and after a slow start the Cowboys were the first  to score under the posts, with Patrick Kaufusi crossing in the 55th  minute to gain an 18 point lead.

The Broncos hit back immediately  with Jayden Nikorima ducking over from dummy half to score in the  corner. Kahu again missed the conversion and the Broncos trailed 22-8.

A mistake under the high ball allowed for Zac Santo to score for the Cowboys in the 68th minute to see the visitors lead 28-8.

Tariq Sims scored again for the Cowboys after a neat grubber from hooker Anthony Mitchell in the 77th minute.

A  head clash resulted in an early night for centre Dale Copley but  overall it was a positive night on the injury front for the Broncos.

Earlier, Jharal Yow Yeh made his much anticipated return to Rugby League and he displayed a quality game in the centres.

His return was a celebration for the whole Rugby League community after two extremely tough years on the sideline.
With 13 fresh faces on display tonight the Broncos found the game tough against a quality Cowboys side.

Daniel  Vidot was the first player to score, crossing in the corner with his  second touch of the ball ever for the 
Broncos for after a nicely timed  pass from fullback Jordan Kahu.

Kahu however missed the sideline conversion.

Kahu  made up for the miss with a fantastic try saving one on one tackle  after a Cowboys line break, but was unlucky to be penalised for a  shoulder charge.

Back to back penalties allowed for easy field  position and Jason Taumalolo crossed for the visitors after running onto  a short ball from Robert Lui in the 17th minute.

Penalties again  resulted in points for the Cowboys with Tariq Sims crashing over in the  26th minute to hand the visitors a 10-4 lead.

Jarrod Wallace was unfortunate not to score after he was disallowed for a double-movement.

Sharp footwork by Cameron King had the visitors score on the stroke of halftime followed with an easy conversion for Kyle Feldt.

NORTH  QUEENSLAND COWBOYS 32 (T Sims 2, Taumalolo, King, Santo, Kaufusi; Feldt  4/6) def BRISBANE BRONCOS 8 (Vidot, Nikorima; Kahu 0/2) at Dolphin  Oval.
