This could perhaps be the truest test of the Broncos premiership credentials. Do they still have the tools to make an impact, or was last year’s chance at glory a flash in the pan?Brisbane are still without injured stars Payne Haas, Adam Reynolds, Deine Mariner and Brendan Piakura.

For Canberra, look for props Joe Tapine and Josh Papali’i to try and intimidate the undermanned Broncos pack, while Jamal Fogarty’s composure at halfback against a Reynolds-less Broncos could make a telling difference amid the threat of an aerial assault on fullback Reece Walsh.“He’s good under the high ball Reece, that’s one of his skill assets. We expect plenty of aerial raids,” Walters told the Fox League team prior to kick-off.
