Brisbane Roar’s fading hopes of playing finals football took another blow on Sunday when they were beaten 1-0 by A-League leaders Wellington Phoenix.

Brisbane Roar paid the price for a slow start and failing to make the most of their chances against Wellington Phoenix.

Roar skipper Tom Aldred, who was hoping to celebrate his 100th A-League appearance with a win, was left to lament a “frustrating” 90 minutes as his side failed to find the back of the net despite creating some good chances.“We tried, we had opportunities, shots on target, everything to score goals. The Roar also paid the price for a sloppy start, with the Phoenix going ahead in just the second minute.

Paulsen was needed to keep his side ahead in the 20th minute with a save to deny Roar attacking weapon Keegan Jelacic equalising. However, the New Zealand international attacker was correctly ruled off-side, with the VAR confirming the assistant referee’s decision to raise his flag.Tempers flared when Phoenix skipper Rufer was sent off in the 82nd minute for standing on the hamstring of the fallen Henry Hore after playing the ball off the back of the Brisbane midfielder’s leg.

LNP's Brisbane Metro Plan to Improve Bus CommutesMore than 54 per cent of bus commuters will have faster journeys under a radical shake-up of Brisbane’s buses – already approved by Translink – if the LNP wins City Hall on March 16. A further 33 per cent of commuters will be of the same duration on more efficient routes, while 13 per cent of bus commuters will have slightly slower bus trips, but have more suburban buses. The LNP’s plan introduces “two-seat” bus trips to Brisbane, where commuters take a suburban bus to a Brisbane Metro hub, and then travel by Metro through the CBD. Under the LNP’s $1.4 billion Brisbane Metro plan, the 60 three-car mega buses will collect passengers from suburban hubs - such as this one at University of Queensland -and carry them through the CBD on a five-minute frequency.At the 19 Brisbane Metro hubs, the suburban buses return to extra suburban bus services, while the passengers hop on to Metro rapid transit buses to travel every five minutes to the CBD
