The Broncos are desperate to stop the rot after five straight defeats, but they’ll have to do it without their Origin stars. The Dragons are similarly hampered, and face two tough clashes after this. Follow all the action from Suncorp Stadium.
Tuipulotu crashes over after slick hands by the Dragons, especially the last pass by Suli. Flanagan’s kick misses but a great start by the visitors.The Dragons kick off after some late drama: Raymond Faitala-Mariner is a late scratching after injuring his back in the warm-up. Luciano Leilua comes into the starting side and Ben Murdoch-Masila joins the interchange bench.
It’s a desperate night for the Brisbane Broncos – lose here, which would mark their sixth straight defeat, and their finals hopes could be buried. Their best troops are on the sidelines: No Reece Walsh, no Pat Carrigan, no Payne Haas, no Adam Reynolds. Even with such cavalry missing, they will have few better chances to return to the winner’s circle against an improved, yet inconsistent, Dragons outfit without Ben Hunt and Zac Lomax.
Look to third-string Broncos halfback Josh Rogers to impose himself with his kicking game and announce himself as a contender for Reynolds’ jumper long-term, and rookie prop Xavier Willison to step up in the absence of Brisbane’s State of Origin middles.1.
