The Brisbane Broncos host the New Zealand Warriors – two sides experts have pencilled in for the grand final in 2016 – at Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane. Join The Roar for all the action from 8pm (AEDT).
The Broncos were impressive in Round 1, out-classing the Eels in Parramatta. Their side has one change, with Jack Reed replacing Greg Eden, forcing Jordan Kahu onto the right wing.
Ben Hunt and Anthony Milford were outstanding last week and will look to build on a great start.
Fullback Darius Boyd was quiet in the season opener, but I’m tipping him to have a significant impact on tonight’s game, with a breathtaking match up against Roger Tuivasa-Sheck.
The Warriors were disappointing against the Tigers last week, leaking far too many points and making silly errors.
Ben Henry, the unluckiest man in the NRL, is out this week, succumbing to yet another serious knee injury. Raymond Faitala-Mariner replaces him in the 17.
Issac Luke, Shaun Johnson and Tuivasa-Sheck need to be close to 100 per cent if the Warriors are any chance in Brisbane.
Prediction
After last week’s showings, it’s hard to go past the Broncos. They were very impressive against the Eels and with the addition of Jack Reed, I’m tipping they will outscore the Warriors tonight.
