With everything to play for, Brothers emerged from the break with renewed intent. A huge defensive effort from Hemopo saw him charge down an Easts kick before gathering the loose ball to score a momentum-shifting try.

Dalle Cort again made no mistake with the conversion to restore Brothers' lead.
Shortly after, Brothers elected to take the points from a penalty, with Dalle Cort slotting the goal to edge the visitors further ahead.
