Brisbane Broncos vs Dolphins Preview

The sixth edition of the Brisbane derby looms as a season-defining showdown, with both sides desperate to arrest alarming slides. The Broncos, now clinging to sixth, have seen their top-four ambitions rocked by injuries to Adam Reynolds, Ezra Mam and Selwyn Cobbo, forcing Ben Hunt and Billy Walters into a makeshift halves pairing. Last week’s 22-2 capitulation to Melbourne only deepened concerns over their form.

The Dolphins, sitting eighth, fare little better after copping a record 64-12 hammering from the Roosters — their worst defeat in three NRL seasons. Kenny Bromwich returns to stiffen the pack, but the continued absence of Herbie Farnworth leaves their attack lacking punch.

Brisbane boast a 4-1 head-to-head advantage, including a 20-12 victory in Round 4, while the Dolphins’ sole derby success was a 40-6 romp late last year. With both spines under the microscope, expect a tense, low-scoring battle with finals hopes hanging in the balance.
