St. George Illawarra Dragons vs Brisbane Broncos Preview
The bottom has fallen out of Brisbane’s season of progress, plummeting to ninth with four heavy losses in five rounds.
Embarrassing home defeats to Melbourne (60-12) and Parramatta (53-6) have left the Broncos needing a win over St George Illawarra and an unlikely Wests Tigers upset of Canberra to make the Top 8.
Patrick Carrigan is a huge in after a four-week suspension, while Kevin Walters has sprung a selection shock with boom half Ezra Mam dropped for Tyson Gamble.
Brenko Lee and Kobe Hetherington are out injured, with Delouise Hoeter coming back in at centre. Selwyn Cobbo returns after bizarrely getting a rest last week.
Adam Reynolds is named despite a head knock rubbing him out early against the Eels.
Guaranteed to finish 10th, the Saints have won their last two against battling Gold Coast (46-26) and Wests Tigers (24-22) – the latter via a late comeback, despite an uncharacteristically dusty display from Dally M contender Ben Hunt, the Dragons are unchanged this week.
The Origin-depleted Broncos’ 32-18 win at Suncorp in Round 17 snapped a five-match losing streak against the Dragons, but they have lost all four of the clubs’ encounters at Jubilee.
The teams’ last six games produced totals of 46-plus points.
The Broncos are $1.58 favourites but on form – and keeping in mind the Dragons haven’t exactly been on fire – it should arguably be the other way around.
