When: 19:35 | Saturday 12/05/2018

Where: Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane

Preview:

Manly are a team under all sorts of pressure and they’ve unified and are playing for each other.

Lucky not to scrape home last week, they’ll be coming to Brisbane for their home game with plenty of confidence.

A lot of attention has been put on Jack Bird and his performances this year.

Jack is currently at number 7 for Brisbane.

For Jack to play well, I feel he must play to his biggest strengths.

For him, it’s running the ball and not trying to organise others.

That will happen once he gets that parts right.

The Broncos found themselves with Andrew McCullough back in the team last week.

The pain barrier he has pushed through to be there is admirable.

He’s such a competitive player that the team respects.

KEY BATTLE: Tevita Pangai Jr v Martin Taupau

Keep an eye on the battle of the props.

Tevita Pangai Jnr against big Taupau who last week was enormous.

The Verdict

I like Brisbane at home in front of which will be a big crowd.

Game 2 of the double header.

Corey Oates would be a great option for first try scorer.

NRL News:

Brisbane back-rower Matt Gillett admits he’ll be more cautious in the future as he eyes a return from a fractured neck in time for a possible Origin cameo.

The no-nonsense Queensland and Australian representative sent a scare through the competition when it was discovered he had carried the injury through four NRL fixtures.

What Gillett thought was simply soreness will keep him out of the game for up to 12 weeks, with a further scan in one month set to reveal how well the fractures have healed.

Gillett nominated any one of Felise Kaufusi, Gavin Cooper, Josh Papalii and Coen Hess as capable of filling the void on the Maroons’ right edge this year.

But the tough customer has been doing everything but contact work at the Broncos’ Red Hill training base and holds hope of a return before Sydney’s Origin II on June 24.

“But I need to wait until I get that scan and we’ll know,” he said.

“If I get the OK it might only be a week or two until I’m confident to take the field again.”

Reduced to the unusual role of spectator, the Bribie Island junior has been spending his new found free time at the beach with his family and says he is emotionally settled after the initial shock that came with news of his injury.

While he says playing through niggles will continue to be part of life as an NRL player, Gillett admitted his scare would be a lesson to him and his teammates.

“There was pain there, but I thought it wasn’t too much of an issue,” he said.

“We always play through injuries – we don’t want to let teammates down and that’s what it comes down to – but those areas (head and neck) I’m sure they’ll take more caution with them now.”
