BRISBANE BRONCOS FORM: BUCKING BRONCOS MAKE IT FIVE WINS IN SIX
Brisbane were underwhelming in their Magic Round clash with Manly Sea Eagles with the absence of the majority of their first-choice spine proving tricky for them to overcome but they did what was required thanks to Jock Madden’s late field-goal.
LAST FIVE: WWLWW
GOLD COAST TITANS FORM: TITANS STILL YET TO GO BACK-TO-BACK THIS SEASON
Gold Coast blew a 24-10 half-time lead as they conceded 18 unanswered points in the second half of their clash with Newcastle Knights. That was a hugely disappointing result for the Titans as they failed to make it successive wins and they are yet to win back-to-back games this year.
LAST FIVE: LWLWL
BRISBANE BRONCOS TEAM NEWS: WALSH A MAJOR IN
Reece Walsh is a massive inclusion for the Broncos with the fullback overcoming a knee injury. Selwyn Cobbo reverts to centre in place of the injured Kotoni Staggs while Billy Walters is also back at hooker.

GOLD COAST TITANS TEAM NEWS: FORAN ON EXTENDED BENCH
With their stocks in the halves seriously low, Kieran Foran could be a welcome addition having been named on the extended bench. The Titans will make a late call on the veteran and could partner Tom Weaver who has been named to start at halfback.
Starting 13: 1. Keano Kini 2. Alofiana Khan-Pereira 3. Brian Kelly 4. Jojo Fifita 5. Tony Francis 6. Chris Randall 7. Thomas Weaver 8. Moeaki Fotuaika 9. Sam Verrills 10. Josiah Pahulu 11.

BRISBANE BRONCOS VS GOLD COAST TITANS PREDICTION
Brisbane Broncos look capable of a tilt at the Grand Final once again and with a stronger team on the paddock this week, they can make it six wins from their last seven games. They take on a Gold Coast Titans side that have claimed just two wins all season and while performances have improved of late, the quality they have on the sidelines will not help their cause here with the hosts likely to be fairly comfortable victors.
