THE TEAM NEWS

BRISBANE BRONCOS

  • Brisbane Broncos recorded a statement win on the road against South Sydney Rabbitohs last week as they earned a third victory in succession.
  • The Broncos are battling it out with reigning premiers Penrith Panthers in an effort to land the minor Premiership and they receive a big boost here with Origin prop Thomas Flegler back in the side after overcoming a foot injury.

Starting 13: Walsh, Mariner, Staggs, Farnworth, Cobbo, Mam, Reynolds, Flegler, Walters, Haas, Capewell, Piakura, Carrigan – Interchanges: Smoothy, Jensen, Hetherington, Palasia – Reserves: Willison, Madden, Sailor, Hoeter, Pereira

Unavailable: Jordan Riki (Injured), Corey Oates (Injured), Jesse Arthars (Suspended), Martin Taupau (Suspended)

SYDNEY ROOSTERS

  • Sydney Roosters kept their season alive as they got the better of Gold Coast Titans last week, ending their losing streak at three matches.
  • The Roosters were brilliant in the first half, going into the sheds with a 30-point advantage and they will be desperate to build on that effort with their hopes improved by the return of lock Victor Radley.

Starting 13: Tedesco, Tupou, Bi. Smith, Manu, Suaalii, Keary, S. Smith, Waerea-Hagreaves, Br. Smith, Collins, E. Butcher, N. Butcher, Radley – Interchanges: Turpin, Brown, May, Baker – Reserves: Allan, Wong, Hutchison, Pauga, Napa

Unavailable: Connor Watson (Injured), Paul Momirovski (Injured), Sam Walker (Injured), Angus Crichton (Injured), Sitili Tupouniua (Injured), Naufahu Whyte (Injured)

THE PREDICTION

Brisbane Broncos look capable of competing for the big prize this season and will aim to make it four straight wins as they host Sydney Roosters. The home side have won their last three and six of their last seven which makes them a formidable opponent for the visiting Tricolours. With just one win in their last four, there is work to be done for the Roosters if they want to be able to make the finals and while they were impressive against Gold Coast Titans last week, the Broncos are a class above and they should be able to make it four straight wins.
