The Brisbane Broncos can secure a finals birth with a win tonight but face a dangerous Penrith Panthers side eager to strike a cruel blow in their last match of the season. Join us for NRL live scores and blog from 7:30pm AEST.
Despite losing their past six matches, Brisbane still find themselves inside the top eight, thanks largely to the Tigers disastrous performance against the Roosters last week.
Had the Tigers beaten the Roosters, Brisbane would currently be sitting outside the top eight, two points behind Tim Sheens’ men.
Instead, the rugby league gods have smiled and the six time premiership winners have their destiny in their own hands when they clash against Penrith.
Although they will start favourites at home, Brisbane are by no means any sort of sure bet of defeating Penrith tonight.
The Panthers are finishing the season with a wet sail as evidenced by their strong win against a Titans outfit that was still in the running for a top eight birth.
Prediction
The Panthers have nothing to lose and will throw caution to the wind tonight in a bid to break Brisbane hearts.
The Broncos really must keep their defence focused on Penrith stars Lachlan Coote, Luke Walsh, Brad Tighe and Michael Jennings.
The preceding quartet of players are Penrith’s most dangerous attacking weapons and will hurt Brisbane if given the space to cause havoc.
Despite their bad losing run, the Broncos have shown signs of improving and should win tonight if they play at a high level.
In their recent losses to Melbourne and Canterbury in particular, Brisbane started their matches very well and played with the sort of intensity that had them earmarked as premiership contenders two months ago.
On paper, they certainly possess the power and skill in the forwards and backline respectively to make short work of the Panthers tonight.
With a finals spot on the line, expect the Broncos to finally break through for a win on the back of strong performances from under fire stars Josh Hoffman and Peter Wallace.

The Broncos have ended their horror six game losing streak by defeating the Panthers by seven points, thus securing their place in the finals. The Broncos went up a few gears in the second half and scored two quick tries to hit the lead. The Broncos then had numerous chances to put the game to bed but the Panthers held on well in defence. Coote then equalised for the Panthers and it was game on yet again but the Broncos managed to stay composed and secured victory thanks to a good try to Glenn and a field goal to Wallace. The Broncos will need to improve considerably if they are to make a statement come finals time but they will certainly be happy to be in the mix in September. Thanks for joining us tonight and we look forward to your company for Super saturday on The Roar.

Shame Broncos Shame.
Once again a shallow victory.
I bet it feels good to cheat and strip the ball then get rewarded with a knock on call. Go down the other end and kick a drop goal. Bet that feels great Wallace, nothing like proud cheating to get you home.

The Broncos have dominated field position and territory but are behind 6 nil against a committed Panthers outfit eager to end Brisbane’s season. The Broncos attack has been dreadful to say the least. They look devoid of ideas in attack and Penrith are reading them like a book. Brisbane need to improve tenfold with possession otherwise they will be spending the weekend hoping that the Storm beat the Tigers to secure a finals place currently not deserved based on their opening half performance. Penrith are playing well with Simmons, Jennings, Tighe, Gordon and Mansour starring.

Its do or die for the Broncos tonight in a must win clash against the Panthers. Penrith will be desperate to make themselves a nuisance tonight and strike a massive blow to the Broncos finals chances. Good evening and welcome to this live NRL blog covering the clash between Brisbane and Penrith. The Broncos have lost their past six matches but have shown that their best footy is around the corner. They will need to be at their best tonight if they are to keep a dangerous Panthers outfit at bay. Interesting to see how Peter Wallace performs tonight given his recent criticism. Josh Hoffman also needs to fire from the back. Can the Broncos secure a finals birth or will the Panthers cause a big upset and put a nail in the coffin of Brisbane’s season? Join us and leave your thoughts on the match as it happens.

Thanks for the support Mushi. Look forward to your feedback throughout the live blog.
KC – the Broncos secured a nailbiting 36-34 victory over the Panthers in Toyota Cup. If that’s a sign of things to come tonight……
Both NRL sides tonight are as per program with Ryan Simpkins dropping off the Panthers bench.
