The Brisbane Broncos have notched their first win for 2021, and their first of the Kevin Walters era, in a 24-0 run-over against the Bulldogs.<\/a><\/p>\n

What was shaping into another dour contest at Suncorp Stadium after both sides remained without a try midway into the second half, was quickly flipped on its head as the Broncos ran riot in a final 20-minute spell.<\/p>\n

Fullback Jamayne Isaako was the man to thank as he showcased a piece of individual brilliance to break away and step two Bulldogs defenders to break the match open.<\/p>\n

With an ending to their woes in sight, the floodgates opened as Walters' men piled on three more tries in the final quarter of play to break 259 days without a win.<\/p>\n

Blossoming winger Xavier Coates bagged a late double in what is fast becoming a fruitful go-to play for Brisbane.<\/p>\n

Young halfback Tom Dearden also found himself on the scoresheet, after getting onto the end of a smart kick by Herbie Farnworth.<\/p>\n

It was an undoubted proud moment for Walters who soaked up every minute of his first NRL win, alongside his troops and fans at Suncorp.<\/p>\n

"It's honestly a great feeling to get the first win of the season," an elated Coates told Fox Sports at full-time.<\/p>\n

\"Isaako<\/p>\n

"We obviously struggled a bit, I felt that we were a bit off in the first half. We had a chat and came out in the second half, our forwards got a roll-on and we got on the back of that.<\/p>\n

"It's unreal to get the first win of the season. Kevie had a chat to us about just staying in that arm wrestle, things didn't seem to be going our way.<\/p>\n

"It's a big weight off our shoulders but we know we've got a long road ahead. Hopefully, we can follow off this win streak and show that next week."<\/p>\n

It's a crucial win for the Broncos who will have their work cut out for them when they come up against reigning premiers the Melbourne Storm next week.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, it's fast becoming a grim picture in Canterbury for coach Trent Barrett whose troops haven't managed to find the scoreboard in two weeks.<\/p>\n
