Penrith Panthers vs Brisbane Broncos prediction
Penrith Panthers have a four point at the top of the Premiers table and will be expecting to grow that further against an opponent in Brisbane Broncos, who have won just five of their 16 NRL games this season so far. Michael Maguire’s men are also suffering through an eight-match losing streak and confidence within the dressing room must be a rock bottom.
Whilst Brisbane do have nothing to lose in this game, that isn’t likely to prevent Penrith from outplaying them. They are top of the table for a reason and a far stronger team across all facets. Expect a very comfortable victory for the Panthers by at least a 15-point margin.
