Brisbane Broncos vs Dolphins prediction
Dolphins come into this Brisbane derby full of confidence after having recorded back-to-back victories following their opening round defeat at the hands of South Sydney Rabbitohs. They’ll need to be at their best against Brisbane Broncos despite the slow start that we’ve seen so far from the reigning champions.
Giving up just 24 runs across their last two games is notable, this is a strong Dolphins defence. But if anyone can breach that backline multiple times, it’s Reece Walsh and this Broncos team, who are starting to look more like themselves following a statement win over Melbourne Storm. With home advantage in their favour, backing Brisbane Broncos should be seriously considered.
