Show Preview
Round 8 continues tonight when the Brisbane Broncos host the Gold Coast Titans at Suncorp Stadium. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 7:55pm (AEST).
After a week in the headlines for all the wrong reasons, you would imagine that the Broncos would be keen to get out on the park tonight.
After an encouraging performance against the Panthers, they were diabolical against the Eels, missing 55 tackles in the process. It doesn’t get any easier tonight, with David Fifita keen to impress again against his former club.
Interestingly enough, it’s the halves that have felt Kevin Walter’s wrath, with Cowboys bound Tom Dearden and Brodie Croft out of the 17. Jesse Arthars returns from illness, replacing David Mead on the wing. Anthony Milford gets another chance in the 6 jersey.
The Titans gave up a big lead against the Rabbitohs last Friday night, with Benji Marshall putting on a clinic. They are hanging on the edge of the 8 but appear a fair way short of the best teams in the competition at this stage.
Fifita bagged 3 tries against South Sydney and will be keen for more tonight. AJ Brimson has been a little quiet in recent weeks and I expect him to have a big impact against the Broncos.
Anthony Don is expected to play after recovering from a hip injury, while Herman Ese’ese looks set to finally debut for the Gold Coast.
Prediction
After a tumultuous week in Brisbane, the Broncos get a real test of character tonight, with Kevin Walters also under the microscope.
They will improve, but the Titans appear to have too much class.
