BRISBANE BRONCOS FORM: BUCKING BRONCOS MAKE IT FIVE WINS IN SIX
Brisbane were underwhelming in their Magic Round clash with Manly Sea Eagles with the absence of the majority of their first-choice spine proving tricky for them to overcome but they did what was required thanks to Jock Madden’s late field-goal.
LAST FIVE: WWLWW
GOLD COAST TITANS FORM: TITANS STILL YET TO GO BACK-TO-BACK THIS SEASON
Gold Coast blew a 24-10 half-time lead as they conceded 18 unanswered points in the second half of their clash with Newcastle Knights. That was a hugely disappointing result for the Titans as they failed to make it successive wins and they are yet to win back-to-back games this year.
LAST FIVE: LWLWL

GOLD COAST TITANS TEAM NEWS: FORAN ON EXTENDED BENCH

BRISBANE BRONCOS VS GOLD COAST TITANS PREDICTION
Brisbane Broncos look capable of a tilt at the Grand Final once again and with a stronger team on the paddock this week, they can make it six wins from their last seven games. They take on a Gold Coast Titans side that have claimed just two wins all season and while performances have improved of late, the quality they have on the sidelines will not help their cause here with the hosts likely to be fairly comfortable victors.
