The Brisbane Broncos begin their quest for redemption when they take on the Parramatta Eels in Suncorp Stadium’s first Friday night match of the season. Stay up to date with their NRL clash with live scores on The Roar from 8:05pm (AEDT).
Nobody could have foreseen just how bad 2020 would go for the Brisbane Broncos – especially after they notched two wins from their two matches before the season was suspended. Their remaining 18 matches netted them just one win as they copped belting after belting and crashed to their first ever wooden spoon in ignominious fashion. Now, with Kevin Walters at the helm, the long journey to respectability begins.
Parramatta may have qualified for the finals last year, but their shaky finish to the home-and-away season and straight-sets exit means they’ve still got a big point to prove in 2021. Their line-up from last year is virtually the same, but it’ll be a big year for the halves pairing of Mitchell Moses and Dylan Brown as they aim to prove their names deserve mention amongst the competition’s best.
The Eels were way too good in both meetings last season, cruising to 34-6 and 26-12 victories. Parramatta have a strong recent record overall against Brisbane, winning the last three matches in a row and six of the last eight.
