Join us tonight for Monday Night Football as two injury-depleted clubs in the Brisbane Broncos and the Parramatta Eels clash at Suncorp Stadium. We’ll have live NRL scores and blog from 7pm AEST.
The Broncos are without first choice backs Justin Hodges, Jack Reed, Dale Copley, Jharal Yow Yeh and Josh Hoffman, while the Eels will make the trip to Suncorp without fullback Jarryd Hayne, Willie Tonga, new-signing Luke Kelly, Casey McGuire and Matthew Keating.
The Broncos do have Ben Te’o’s available to play after successful downgrading of a careless tackle charge at the NRL judiciary, but neither team is at full strength tonight.
In theory, a win at home for the Broncos against a team with one hand on the wooden spoon should be regulation.
The Broncos strength should be through their forward pack. Peter Wallace and Corey Norman can win the battle through the middle with the forward pack rolling forward, and in theory this should open up the game – but can they use this to their advantage with their depleted backline?
With Melbourne Storm down on form, the minor premiership is suddenly not a foregone conclusion and the Broncos have plenty to play for.
The Eels are currently last on the ladder but they did shock the Storm outfit in the last game for coach Stephen Kearney.
But it’s a tough ask for new (temporary) Eels coach Brad Arthur – about as tough as they come up at Suncorp, regardless of injury troubles for the Broncos.
He’ll need his halves Chris Sandow and Ben Roberts to score points without Hayne and Tonga.
However, the young backline can challenge the depleted Broncos out wide, and may throw everything to the centres and wing men and hope to open up the Brisbane team.
There’s another key reason for the Eels to aim up – and not just seeing out Hindmarsh out on the roadshow that is his retirement.
The announcement of Ricky Stuart as the Eels coach for 2013 provides incentive as they players look to show what they can offer to the new coach. Stuart may well be at the game.
It’ll be a shock win for the Eels, but the NRL offers plenty of surprises.

The Eels have turned on the style to defeat Brisbane by 20 points away from home. It was Parramatta who played like a top four outfit and once again defied their position on the ladder after defeating Melbourne last week aswell. The Eels thus win consecutive games for the first time since 2010 and are finishing the year strongly. Too bad they were shocking for the majority of the season. Where was this enthusiasm earlier in the year? Where was the attitude in defence? The Eels were terrific and kept their heads even when the Broncos got back to within 12 points with a fast second half start. Sandow, Maitua, Hindmarsh, Mullaney, Morgan, Blair, Moi Moi… every Eels player shone in unison tonight. Brisbane however were awful in defence and have produced their worst effort of the season tonight. Broncos need to turn things around quickly if they are to remain a premiership force. Thanks to all who followed and please join us next time on The Roar

70′ – Brisbane needed that try and may have regained the momentum needed to finish strongly here. Eels need to be on their guard. Brisbane on the halfway now as Hunt kicks here and he regathers and finds Norman who then finds McGuire who then finds Teo who steps inside and is tackled just inches short!!! Hunt with another kick and Sandow regathers possession and the Eels now win a penalty. Great passage of play!

Do not refresh your internet page. The Eels are leading by 24 points against the top four Broncos. Believe it! The Eels are all over Brisbane and are playing a brand of football that has not reared its head for a long time here. The Broncos have been terrible though with their defence not up to their physical standard. Morgan, Sio, Maitua, Sandow, Blair and Poore are causing havoc. Parramatta enjoying life under caretaker coach Arthur. Griffin on the other hand will lay down the law to his Broncos at halftime. Eels well on course for the upset.

These Parramatta players should all get half their season’s pay cut. A coach can’t make this turnaround happen. Some responsibility needs to be with the players. They’ve obviously been playing with no heart/effort for most of the season.

Good evening and welcome to this live blog covering the clash between the Broncos and Eels. The Broncos can really cement their place inside the top four with a win tonight. The Eels however are coming off a great win against Melbourne but are once again without Hayne who was very strong last week. Brisbane though are missing Reed, Hodges, Copley and Hoffman for tonight’s clash. Can Parramatta throw a spanner in Brisbane’s premiership hopes or will the Broncos romp to a big win?
