Show Preview

The Brisbane Broncos and Canterbury Bulldogs do battle for the second time in 2022 at Suncorp Stadium in Round 7 NRL action. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 7.55pm AEST.

With just three wins between in 2022, the Broncos and Bulldogs will be far from the marquee game of Round 7 in the NRL. Frankly, the blue and whites have been below ordinary across the past six weeks and despite a few moments of promise, Brisbane have been only slightly better and sit just two rungs higher than the bottom of the ladder Dogs entering this weekend.

That said, there is plenty to play for and both sides will feel a win is more than possible considering the state of the opposition. Canterbury enter the match with growing injury concerns and a few additional players potentially unavailable thanks to a COVID spread with the group.

That situations could see, Jake Averillo Ava Seumanufagai and Brent Naden all out of the Bulldogs squad and with a number of players already absent through injury, the club may be required to request special permission from the NRL in order to assemble a full travelling party to Queensland.

The Broncos have different issues, with three key changes in the spine sure to cause immense disruption to the team. Tesi Niu’s injury sees Te Maire Martin play his first NRL game since April 2019. Herbie Farnworth comes back in the centres, Tyson Gamble is the new number six with Billy Walters demoted to the Broncos’ bench. Payne Haas returns from suspension and Cory Paix takes over at hooker with Jake Turpin injured.

The Broncos managed a tight 16-10 win when the two sides met earlier in the season yet do look firm favourites heading into a match where the Bulldogs’ selection panel has been under all sorts of pressure.

Prediction
Canterbury continue to live the rebuild nightmare that has plagued their recent seasons. With injury and COVID protocols making things even more difficult than they should be, it is hard not the see Brisbane running away with this game in the second half. More pressure for Barrett as Canterbury continue to be the easy beats of the NRL.
