Brisbane Broncos vs Parramatta Eels Preview
The Brisbane Broncos will look to solidify their top-four hopes when they take on the struggling Parramatta Eels at Suncorp Stadium on Friday night. Michael Maguire’s Broncos have been in red-hot form, stringing together five consecutive wins before last week’s bye. Their gritty 26-14 victory over the Titans in Round 19 highlighted their growing consistency.
In contrast, Parramatta’s season continues to unravel. The Eels have lost five of their past six and were dismantled 40-16 by the Raiders last week, conceding 28 unanswered points in the second half. However, they’ll welcome back star halfback Mitch Moses, whose return reshuffles the spine and brings much-needed direction. Will Penisini also bolsters the backline after serving a suspension.
Payne Haas headlines a trio of key inclusions for Brisbane, returning alongside Jesse Arthars and Corey Jensen. With finals in sight, the Broncos will be eyeing a dominant performance against a Parramatta side desperate to stop the slide.
