Brisbane Broncos vs New Zealand Warriors Preview
Brisbane’s finals hopes face a serious examination on Saturday when they host the fourth-placed Warriors in a high-stakes showdown. Consecutive comeback victories over the Titans and Sharks have breathed new life into the Broncos’ campaign, with Reece Walsh sparking both turnarounds and Payne Haas continuing his dominance up front.
The Warriors, meanwhile, head to Suncorp reeling from a shock defeat to an understrength Panthers outfit. A scrappy performance, marked by unforced errors and a lack of energy, halted their momentum. Their task isn’t made easier by injuries, with Dallin Watene-Zelezniak ruled out and Ed Kosi stepping in on the wing.
Brisbane fields an unchanged lineup and carries strong attacking form into this clash. While the Warriors have claimed the past two meetings, they haven’t won at Suncorp since 2018 — and the Broncos may have too much firepower on home turf.
