Brisbane Broncos vs Gold Coast Titans Preview
Brisbane has impressively walked the injury barrage tightrope with five wins from their last six outing, but theyll be eager to pick up another pre-Origin victory over a Gold Coast side beset by absentees themselves.
The Broncos, without Reece Walsh on top of Adam Reynolds long-term setback, held off Manly 13-12 in Magic Round with stand-in fullback Selwyn Cobbo superb, Pat Carrigan leading the forward charge as per usual and Jock Madden slotting the decisive field goal.
The return of Walsh and Billy Walters has been tempered by Kotoni Staggs injury, which allows Josiah Karapani to keep a spot. Blake Mozer makes way with Walters back.
The 2-8 Titans, coming off two wins from their previous three games, lost few admirers in a 28-24 loss to Newcastle with Kieran Foran and AJ Brimson headlining a new batch of players introduced to the casualty ward.
Tom Weaver added spark at halfback while David Fifita, Brian Kelly and Erin Clark also had strong games, but it was nevertheless disappointing to blow a 24-10 halftime lead.
Aaron Schoupp left for Manly after Magic Round, which sees Jojo Fifita go to centre and Tony Francis line up on the wing. Jaiman Joliffe (pec) is replaced in the 17 by Joe Stimson with Josiah Pahulu to start.
The near neighbours last eight encounters were split four apiece.
Last year, the Broncos came from behind to win 43-26 on the Gold Coast, while the Titans pulled off one of the upsets of the season after Justin Holbrooks sacking with an 18-12 win at Suncorp Stadium over an ill-disciplined Brisbane side. Alofiana Khan-Pereira scored three tries across the two games.
The latter result along with some of their recent rearguard performances is a reminder the Titans can pull the pants down of any team that doesnt turn up with the requisite attitude. Another upset might appear unlikely for the $4.40 underdogs but they are tempting with a massive start.
