The Broncos have triumphed in a fierce display of strength and skill, achieving their first victory of the year in commanding fashion against their local rivals, the Titans.

The 44-4 defeat handed to the Gold Coast team in Brisbane is a record-breaking win for the three-time premiership winners.

Kiwi Ferns centre Mele Hufanga was the standout performer, scoring four tries to equal her own club record set last year.

Skipper Ali Brigginshaw showcased her exceptional playmaking abilities, providing two assists and playing a crucial role in multiple scoring opportunities.

The Titans, on the other hand, suffered their largest ever loss since joining the NRL Telstra Women's Premiership.

With star players Gayle Broughton and Shenae Ciesiolka returning from injury, along with the addition of new recruit Stacey Waaka fresh off her Olympic success, Brisbane was firing on all cylinders.

The team dominated the first half, completing an impressive 17 out of 18 sets and crossing the try line on four occasions - matching their total from the previous 140 minutes of play.

The opening try by Julia Robinson set the tone for the match, with Destiny Brill adding to the lead with a close-range effort soon after.

The Broncos' exceptional defensive effort shut down any opportunities for the Titans, securing their well-deserved victory in style.
