Canberra Raiders vs Brisbane Broncos Preview

Canberra’s push for a first premiership since 1994 continues on Sunday when the minor premiers host Brisbane at GIO Stadium in a blockbuster qualifying final. The Raiders sealed top spot with a Round 26 win over the Tigers and now look to extend their dominance over the Broncos, having claimed a 32-22 victory when the sides last met in Round 2. Seb Kris returns to bolster the backline while Josh Papalii has been named despite a training injury scare. Brisbane, meanwhile, are without captain Adam Reynolds, leaving Ben Hunt and Billy Walters to steer the side once again. Gehamat Shibasaki returns to the centres after a brief team standards breach, with Deine Mariner shifting to the wing. With Payne Haas leading the Broncos pack and Joe Tapine anchoring Canberra’s middle, the contest promises physicality, flair, and a place in the preliminary final for the victor.
