Round 26 of the NRL premiership continues when the Canberra Raiders take on the Brisbane Broncos at GIO Stadium. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 7:30pm (AEST).
I love this time of year. Spring is breaking through, the days are getting longer and we tend to get semi final footy that little bit early. This is one of those games, with Canberra especially desperate for a win.
After getting belted by the Storm a fortnight ago, the Raiders finished strongly last weekend to win 36-24 over the Bulldogs. However, Ricky Stuart wouldn’t have been pleased with a number of aspects and will know his side needs better tonight.
The Raiders strength is in their forward pack. If they gain ascendancy in the middle, they have enough class out wide to get wins. However, the Raiders have trouble putting teams away, explaining their poor points differential.
In team changes, Jack Wighton has been named in the reserves and could yet start in what would be a massive boost for Canberra. Albert Hopoate has been named with James Schiller on standby.
The Broncos continue to demonstrate that they are one of two best sides in the premiership, the last evidence of this being a fortnight ago with a 54-10 win against the Eels. It is hard at the moment to see anything but a Broncos and Panthers grand final.
The Broncos base their game on strong go forward, particularly Payne Haas and Patrick Carrigan, the organisational skills of Adam Reynolds and an exciting backline.
Reynolds will miss the game with a calf issue, with Jock Madden coming into the halves. Corey Oates returns for his 200th game and Corey Jensen wins a spot on the bench.
Reynolds is a large omission for the Broncos and the Raiders need a win to keep themselves relatively secure in the 8. But, there is a next man up culture at Brisbane and I think, after a tight opening, they will prove too strong across the park. Broncos by 12
