NRL 2020 Broncos Vs Eels live results: Legends' blunt warning for NRL restart, Phil Gould, return

But it will be a slightly different game that it was with a series of rule changes, including restarting the tackle count for ruck infringements and a series of regulations teams will need to look at.

Two tries in the first 20 of the second half has the Eels up 22-6 and looking set headed for a win.

Clint Gutherson and Michael Jennings scored to extend the lead out as the Eels edge closer to a 3-0 start.

The Eels have snatched back the lead just before the half with an incredible effort from winger Maika Sivo to get the ball down!

And it was Brodie Croft that put on the afterburners, turning the Eels around and locking the scores up.

It's taken just three minutes for the Eels to reopen the scoring in the NRL, assisted by the league's new rules.

Fox League's Greg Alexander said the try showed how big a penalty the repeat set would be with the Broncos "caught on their heels".

The Eels lead 6-0.

Broncos halfback Brodie Croft has sent a scare through the NRL, twice failing a temperature check as he arrived at the ground for the season restart.

But the third time was the charm as Croft passed with his temperature over 37.2 degrees.

He didn't show any other signs of illness and said he was fired up.

"The excitement got to me a bit there when I was at the front gates but keen to get to kickoff now," Croft said.

Brodie Croft 8.

But Johns said there should be a simple response from the NRL – "go f*** yourself'.

The panel also praised the leadership of V'landys and said he wouldn't hang the referees out to dry as they had been in the past.

"We've had two referees for a decade now," he said.

"Every time we go to a representative fixture people haven't woken up until ten minutes into the second half that we've only got one referee

It's never spoken about prior to the game and it's never the bane of analysis during or after the game

"I never believed in the two-referee system… There is far more scope for the game if there is one official, and the officials keep interrupting the contest with pedantic penalties and interpretations trying to impress their coach rather than allow the players contribute to the spectacle

"Rugby league is a great game if it's allowed to flow and have momentum

It's not up to the referee to dictate the speed of the game

You don't deserve speed in the game if you just tuck the ball under your arm and run one out into the opposition forward pack

"What I don't want to see is the referees overuse this tool to a point when after three penalties we're going to start sin-binning players every game thinking they've got to get the message through."
