New Zealand Warriors vs Brisbane Broncos prediction
Brisbane Broncos could not have been any worse last Saturday in Sydney, as they were thrashed by Manly Sea Eagles. Michael Maguire’s side failed to turn up and were embarrassed as a result, losing 32-4 to the Sea Eagles. Back at home, you would expect a much-improved performance especially with Reynolds back in the fold. But they are taking on a team on the back of four straight wins.
New Zealand Warriors are building up a huge head of steam right now and the opportunity of going top of the table at least for a short period shouldn’t be underestimated. They are on fire, are starting to get healthy again and coming off the back of a much-needed bye-week. That makes backing them well worth considering.
