>> MATCH REPORT: Origins heroes lead Broncos to victory
Origin heroes Sam Thaiday, Corey Park, Matt Gillett and Darius Boyd all had roles to play in the Broncos win after seeing Queensland to victory earlier in the week.
Brisbane 16 def. Canterbury 8
The eighth-placed Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs will be looking to make it three wins in a row when they host the first-placed Brisbane Broncos. Join us on The Roar from 7:30pm AEST for live scores and coverage.
With just two points the difference between third and eighth place on the NRL ladder, the Bulldogs will be eager to continue their current form and catch up with the current leaders.
The Bulldogs are coming off a dominant win over the Melbourne Storm, the likes of David Klemmer and Sam Kasiano causing trouble by making plenty of metres after contact.
The Bulldogs are second when it comes to metres after contact, and the big men will be looking to continue the run against the Broncos.
Des Hasler’s side will be boosted by the return of Josh Jackson, who comes back following a suspension, pushing Shaun Lane to 18th man.
The Broncos have become the best attacking side in the NRL of late. The Brisbane side has scored the most points and scored the most tries at just over four per game.
Darius Boyd and Corey Parker are all set to return from origin duty, however centre Justin Hodges has not been named for the squad. Sam Thaiday is also returning, and will be replacing the injured Josh McGuire at prop.
Wayne Bennett’s men have been in top spot for 17 weeks, however they sit just two points above second. A win for the Broncos secures first-position for another week.
The Broncos have lost four of their last five at ANZ, however their last ten meetings with the Bulldogs have ended in five wins for each side.
Prediction:
This is a close match-up between two performing sides, and should be close whichever way it goes.
