Have your sayBy 7.22pmGood evening allBy Thanks for joining our live coverage of the opening match of the Women in League round at a very wet CommBank Stadium. The only thing more miserable than the Sydney weather tonight is the Broncos’ form.After eight successive losses, the defending premiers are wallowing in 14th spot on the table and out of finals contention. The ladder-leading Panthers, meanwhile, are humming along very nicely, thank you very much, and hold a four-point lead from their nearest challengers, the Warriors and the Roosters.Kick-off is at 7:50 and both teams will welcome back their State of Origin stars.1 of 1
