THE TEAM NEWS

PENRITH PANTHERS

  • Reigning premiers Penrith Panthers bounced back from their opening round nilling at the hands of Melbourne Storm by defeating rivals Parramatta Eels last week.
  • The Panthers blew several scoring opportunities in that game but were still able to get the job done, although it is likely they will have to be more ruthless here and will be hindered by the loss of prop James Fisher-Harris.

Starting 13: 1. Dylan Edwards 2. Sunia Turuva 3. Izack Tago 4. Taylan May 5. Brian To'o 6. Jarome Luai 7. Nathan Cleary 8. Moses Leota 9. Mitch Kenny 10. Lindsay Smith 11. Scott Sorensen 12. Liam Martin 13. Isaah Yeo Bench: 14. Daine Laurie 15. Matt Eisenhuth 16. Liam Henry 17. Luke Garner Reserves: 18. Soni Luke 19. Mavrik Geyer 20. Preston Riki 21. Paul Alamoti 22. Brad Schneider

BRISBANE BRONCOS

  • Brisbane Broncos were too good for South Sydney Rabbitohs last week as they got off the mark for the season and will aim to back that up here.
  • The Broncos suffered a few injury concerns in that game with skipper Adam Reynolds going down with a knee injury and despite being named in the initial side, Payne Haas will also sit out with a knee issue of his own.

Starting 13: 1. Reece Walsh 2. Jesse Arthars 3. Kotoni Staggs 4. Selwyn Cobbo 5. Deine Mariner 6. Ezra Mam 7. Jock Madden 8. Corey Jensen 9. Billy Walters 10. Payne Haas 11. Brendan Piakura 12. Jordan Riki 13. Patrick Carrigan Bench: 14. Tyson Smoothy 15. Fletcher Baker 16. Kobe Hetherington 17. Martin Taupau Reserves: 18. Xavier Willison 19. Tristan Sailor 20. Delouise Hoeter 21. Corey Oates 22. Jaiyden Hunt

THE PREDICTION

Penrith Panthers and Brisbane Broncos will do battle in a repeat of last year’s Grand Final. The two teams each come into this on the back of a win but the Broncos have suffered from some major injury strife with two key men in Adam Reynolds and Payne Haas ruled out and that could impact their chances of making it back-to-back wins. The Broncos owe the Panthers one after capitulating in the showpiece last year but with the premiers always tough to beat on home soil, they are fancied to get the job done here.

TIP: PENRITH PANTHERS TO WIN
