THE TEAM NEWS

BRISBANE BRONCOS

  • Brisbane Broncos have been one of the two surprise packages in the NRL this season and come into this clash with Canberra Raiders in the top four after winning their last six matches.
  • The Broncos got the better of Gold Coast Titans thanks to a thrilling comeback in their last game and with key man Adam Reynolds back in the side following a hamstring issue, they look well-placed to be able to extend their winning streak.

Starting 13: Martin, Oates, Staggs, Farnworth, Cobbo, Mam, Reynolds, Jensen, Walters, Haas, Robati, Riki, Carrigan – Interchanges: Paix, Hetherington, Flegler, Palasia – Reserves: Hoeter, Kennedy, Pereira, Lee, James, Willison, Piakura

Unavailable: Albert Kelly, Tesi Niu, Tyson Gamble, Kurt Capewell

CANBERRA RAIDERS

  • Canberra Raiders have turned the corner of late and despite losing their prior contest with Parramatta Eels, they were able to respond at the first time of asking by defeating Sydney Roosters last week.
  • It was an important win for the Raiders who are now on the cusp of breaking into the top eight but this will be a real test of where they are at as a team and they will be desperate to get Origin reps Jack Wighton and Josh Papalii on the field after their efforts on Wednesday.

Starting 13: Savage, Cotric, Timoko, Kris, Schiller, Wighton, Fogarty, Papalii, Woolford, Tapine, Young, Whitehead, Elliott – Interchanges: Starling, Sutton, Harawira-Naera, Hosburgh – Reserves: Valemei, Frawley, Mooney, Rushton, Trevilyan

Unavailable: Harley Smith-Shields, Josh Hodgson, Jarrod Croker, Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad, Jordan Rapana

THE PREDICTION

Brisbane Broncos look every inch a top four team at present but this is a tricky contest for them as they take on Canberra Raiders. The away side have improved of late and have lost just one of their last five games thanks to recording a good win over Sydney Roosters last week. The Raiders will be confident of earning another win here but with the Broncos boasting home advantage at Suncorp, having won four of their six home games so far this season, combined with key playmaker Adam Reynolds coming back into the side after recovering from injury, the hosts have to be favoured here.
