Preview:
The last match of the round is between the Brisbane Broncos and the New Zealand Warriors, kicking off on Monday night, Suncorp Stadium at 7.00pm. The Broncos were defeated last week, with the Bulldogs winning 24-14 and the Brisbane side showing little promise. It’s all a bit up and down at the moment for the Broncos, who enjoyed a big win over the Titans the week before and need to bounce back this week.

The Warriors are also failing in the consistency stakes at the moment, managing to bounce back from a big loss to Penrith to record a great win over Newcastle last round. Their victory last week was the third win of the season for the New Zealand side, although they will have a hard time making it four against a Broncos outfit with a lot to prove and the home ground advantage on their side.

Teams:

Brisbane Broncos:
Corey Norman, Denan Kemp, Josh Hoffman, Jordan Kahu, Lachlan Maranta, Scott Prince, Peter Wallace, Josh McGuire, Andrew McCullough, Scott Anderson, Alex Glenn, Nick Slyney, Dunamis Lui. Interchange: Ben Hunt, Mitchell Dodds, David Hala, Jarrod Wallace, Jake Granville, Aaron Whitchurch

New Zealand Warriors:
Kevin Locke, Glen Fisiiahi, Dane Nielsen, Konrad Hurrell, Manu Vatuvei, Thomas Leuluai, Shaun Johnson, Sam Rapira, Nathan Friend, Russell Packer, Feleti Mateo, Simon Mannering (c), Elijah Taylor. Interchange: Ben Matulino, Jacob Lillyman, Sebastine Ikahihifo, Pita Godinet, Dominique Peyroux

Warriors aim to kick on against Broncos

The Warriors are out to ensure their huge NRL rebound doesn’t result in the pendulum swinging towards complacency.

The mood within the Warriors camp lightened this week after they turned their fortunes around in remarkable fashion with a 28-12 upset over Newcastle, after being thumped 62-6 by Penrith.

“There’s definitely a lot more smiles around the joint,” second-rower Feleti Mateo said.

“Boys are coming in chest out, wanting to do more, knowing that the hard work they did last week really paid off.”

But such a big bounce-back also carried the danger of too much contentment.

“I think it can for a lot of teams,” Mateo said.

“It’s just about addressing that and for our senior players to stand up and show maturity on the field and in game management.”

Mateo was among those who stood up against the Knights.

In his first 80-minute appearance of the season, he racked up 228 metres with the ball, made six tackle breaks and produced five of his trademark offloads.

“I just felt I needed to get more involved,” he said.

Mateo, 29, signed a new contract with the Warriors a fortnight ago after mulling over other offers and having his future sorted out has taken a distracting weight off his shoulder.

“Now I can concentrate on working hard during the week and getting out there and playing my best footy, and last week was a good sign.”

Next up for the Warriors, who remain down in 14th spot, is ninth-place Brisbane on Monday night.

Now would seem a good time to strike the Broncos, who are without the Queensland State of Origin quartet of Justin Hodges, Sam Thaiday, Corey Parker and Matt Gillett.

But Mateo is on guard ahead of the trip to Suncorp Stadium.

“In recent years, the baby Broncos have put in good performances,” he said.

“You’ve got young guys that are hungry coming through. I think it’s a dangerous time.”
