Brisbane have come from behind against the Sydney Roosters to secure captain Corey Parker a victory in his final NRL regular-season match.The Broncos overcame a sloppy opening 30 minutes on Thursday night to post a 24-14 win at Suncorp Stadium in Parkers 154th NRL match.Coach Wayne Bennett will have plenty of questions after an underwhelming display ahead of the finals, however the victory does lift Brisbane into fourth on the ladder.Fifth-placed North Queensland need to beat Gold Coast on Saturday in Townsville for the premiers to secure a top-four finish.Just like they did last weekend against Cronulla, the 14th-placed Roosters started brightly.Tries to Dale Copley and Connor Watson opened up a 14-0 lead after 28 minutes.But the Broncos all but erased that margin by halftime when a double strike by Anthony Milford and James Roberts ensured the score was just 14-12 at the break.Roberts try would have particularly upset Roosters coach Trent Robinson with winger Daniel Tupou spilling a second-tackle kick by the Broncos to gift the home team a try.Brisbane were lucky to still be in the contest after a half in which they completed just eight of 15 sets and made 23 tackles inside their 20 to none by the Roosters.Scores were levelled 11 minutes into the second half and then a sweeping move put Jordan Kahu over in the 56th minute for the Broncos to hit the front for the first time.The Broncos dominated the remaining minutes but it took a broken-play break by Roberts in the 75th minute and then a quick-thinking grubber to find Kahu which ensured the Broncos took out the match.Ex-Bronco Copley, whose first-half try was his third this year against his old club, failed to complete the opening stanza when he was knocked out trying to tackle Kahu.Its Copleys third concussion this season and comes just three weeks after being knocked out in the seventh minute of the Roosters shock round-23 win over the Cowboys.The Roosters 18th loss of the season ensures the Tricolours - minor premiers the previous three seasons - will end the year in 15th.Parker praised his teams response at halftime after their sluggish start to the match.The first half, we didnt do ourselves any favours, he said.We re-addressed where we wanted to go at halftime and the response to that was very good.Keeping them scoreless in the second half and we were able to build some momentum and pressure and got the job done.Robinson said the performance had shown elements of fight but was ultimately symptomatic of a season that had been a huge disappointment.Thought we were right in the game, thought we played really well and then just errors under pressure, Id say, in the last 20 really cost us, he said.Really proud of them but, again, not good enough.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall posted on social media a racist, threatening letter that denounced him for taking a knee during the national anthem earlier this season. He said he wanted to expose the racism that exists in society.Marshall said he received the letter a couple of weeks ago and turned it over to the teams security department, which has been in contact with the NFL and local law enforcement.Marshall posted the letter written on front and back in block lettering, on his social media accounts alongside his caption, which read: The hatred by some against people of color is one of the reasons we are where were at in the world today, and they wonder why we feel the way we do and take the stances that we take. He also noted, I received this letter at work.I just wanted to expose that racism still exists, Marshall told reporters in the locker room Friday about an hour after posting the letter. I wanted expose that people still hate each other. We still hate each other, whether its because of your belief system or the color of your skin, whatever the case may be.Marshall said he quickly received hundreds of messages of support, although one detractor suggested he shouldnt have posted it because it gave voice to the author.No, I did the right thing because it needs to be seen, Marshall countered.Marshall showed photos of the envelope and letter he snapped on his iPhone before turning them over to team security.The letter came in an envelope purporting to be from Mrs. Jacksons sixth-grade class in Denver and scribbled on the back were the words We love you, Mr. Marshall.That was designed to make sure he read the letter, said Marshall, adding he suspects it was actually written by an adult.The return address listed aa middle school and address, which dont match any middle schools in Colorado.ddddddddddddMarshall has received both positive and negative feedback for following college teammate Colin Kaepernick `s lead in protesting social and racial injustice by taking a knee during the national anthem over the first half of the season.He ended his protest by saying he would go on a police drive-along and participate in a police shoot-or-dont-shoot simulator while also increasing his charitable endeavors. Coach Gary Kubiak stood next to him when he ended his protest at Oakland in Week 9, saying he was proud of the way Marshall had handled the situation.Marshall, who lost endorsements over his actions , has received a lot of hate mail for kneeling during the Star Spangled Banner. But he said he publicized this particular letter because it threatened him with bodily harm and was especially vitriolic.He said he didnt fear for his safety, though.Marshall, who wont play this weekend when the Broncos (8-4) visit Tennessee (6-6) because of a pulled left hamstring, said he discovered the letter while catching up on a stack of fan mail in his locker. When he came across this one, he passed it around to teammates before turning it over to team security.It was disgusting, linebacker Shane Ray said.We were appalled by it, added linebacker Corey Nelson, who will start in Marshalls place Sunday. We told him dont worry about it, dont let that get into your head or get into your heart.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapleton ' ' '
