Show Preview
The final game of Saturday action for round 20 heads to Suncorp Stadium as the Brisbane Broncos face the Wests Tigers. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 7.35pm AEST.
Despite a little hiccup, the Broncos are back to winning ways over the past few weeks and showed the rest of the competition not to rule them out of premiership contention following an emphatic win against the Eels last week. Selwyn Cobbo continues to be eased back into the Broncos lineup as he is rested once again following his concussion injury in the Origin decider earlier in the month. However, the Broncos welcome back Billy Walters at hooker, while Delouise Hoeter replaces Jordan Pereira (dropped) and Deine Mariner is handed a debut at the expense of Brenko Lee (named in reserves). Te Maire Martin has been named as 18th man, and could be a late inclusion at fullback should Kevin Walters feel the Kiwi international is ready to resume playing after an injury layoff.
As for the Tigers, the playing squad will definitely be hurting after narrowly losing to the Cowboys in controversial circumstances the week before. And with a winning mentality ceasing to exist throughout the season, it is incredibly tough for the players to pick themselves up after a heartbreaking loss and give it their all the next week. Jock Madden is set to replace Luke Brooks at halfback as Brooks is set to miss the rest of the season to injury. To the Tigers credit, they have improved as over the past few rounds, they have shown the willingness to fight for longer periods of time – losing their last three games by one, two and eight points respectively.
Prediction
While the Tigers have improved over the past few weeks, facing a red hot Broncos is the last thing an under confident outfit wants to encounter. Adam Reynolds and Kurt Capewell’s experience to lead the way and cause a Broncos victory in front of their home fans.
