Brisbane Broncos vs New Zealand Warriors prediction
Despite being the away team, New Zealand Warriors will be heavy favourites to pick up a positive result here. Brisbane Broncos have been awful at Suncorp Stadium, losing their last seven playing there and a New Zealand Warriors juggernaut is in prime position to capitalise. The Warriors were winners of their showdown with Penrith most recently, knocking Ivan Cleary’s side off the top of the NRL table.
The visitors have now won four of their last five and have been outstanding from a defensive perspective, giving up less than ten points in two of those games and only conceding 54 points overall. Such stability within their backline stands them in good stead and they are expected to wind up too strong for the Broncos.
