After what can only be described as a crazy week, it’s nice to get back to even some sort of normality tonight as the NRL continues with the Brisbane Broncos taking on the South Sydney Rabbitohs at Suncorp Stadium. Join The Roar for live scores and a blog of the match, starting at 8:05pm (AEDT).

After a pre-season that was less than flattering, the Broncos surprised many by comfortably beating the Cowboys in Townsville last Friday night.

David Fifita and Payne Haas were immense, with Fifita’s solo try one of the big moments in the match. Brodie Croft was impressive in his debut for the Broncos, allowing the likes of Anthony Milford and Kotoni Staggs to shine.

Tevita Pangai’s indiscretion landed him four weeks on the sidelines, with Jamil Hopoate starting this week. Ethan Bullemor gets a start on the bench. Corey Oates has been named but is battling a bout of gastro.

The Rabbitohs also got off to a winning start last week, but suffered a late fright as only a late forward pass from Connor Tracey prevented a Sharks upset.

Prior to that, though, Souths looked the goods, with their backline one of the best in the league.

Wayne Bennett has the benefit of an unchanged line-up, with no injuries to report. He will, however, be looking to tighten up the left-edge defence after Shaun Johnson created havoc down that corridor last weekend.

Prediction
The absence of home crowds impacts any home ground advantage but the Broncos do have a strong record at Suncorp Stadium.

This will be a tight one but the Broncos, led up Haas and Thomas Flegler, will just shade the South Sydney front row and lay a platform. With Fifita terrorising on the edge, the Broncos will do enough.

Brisbane by two.
