Show Preview

The NRL action continues tonight with the match between the Rabbits and Broncos, coming to you from ANZ Stadium. Join The Roar for live scores and a blog of the match, starting from 7:55 pm AEST.

At the start of the season, this matchup would have been all about Anthony Seibold and Wayne Bennett after their coach swap a few years ago. However, with the Broncos in dire straits, it’s more about whether the Broncos can end a horrendous run.

The Rabbits missed the start at Kogarah last round but a man of the match performance from Cody Walker sparked a Souths fightback and win over the Dragons. If Walker can maintain that form this week, the Broncos will be in trouble.

South Sydney’s forward pack was much improved last week, allowing Damien Cook to play his best game of the season. Cam Murray also had a big game.

The team list is unchanged for this round, although Adam Reynolds must be in some doubt after going off the field with a burner last week.

Despite losing nine of their last ten matches, Brisbane has improved over the last fortnight against the Storm and Sharks. However, their inability to play out the full 80 minutes has hurt them. They look to have forgotten how to win.

Tom Dearden provided some stability in the halves last week whilst Kotoni Staggs and Herbie Farnworth impressed in the centres. There is still enough talent in this side to win matches. Whether they have the belief to win is another issue.

In a big in for the Broncos, David Fifita will return in the back row. However, Anthony Milford is out with a hamstring injury with Brodie Croft returning. Joe Ofahengaue is back to the bench and Ethan Bullemor drops out of the 17.

Prediction
The Brisbane Broncos will win again the season.

However, to do it against a Rabbits team desperate to stay in the top eight is probably too big an ask.
