Preview:
Two wins on the trot have pushed Manly up to sixth on the ladder, which is more than you can say for Anthony Seibold’s side right now.
The Broncos got back to losing ways last week falling by 32-points to the Bunnies in Sydney – a game that once again highlighted just how lackadaisical Brisbane’s defence has become.
These two sides met twice last season, splitting the wins one apiece. The Broncos obliterated Manly 48-16 in Round 25, but a lot has changed since then.
Brisbane’s biggest problem last week was not only a lack of possession but also lack of discipline defensively committing nine penalties. It’s not surprising to learn the Broncos lead the league in ineffective tackles, which is bad news as they prepare to face a Manly side that ranks fifth in conversions.
They aren’t the home side, but the Suncorp advantage sees the Broncos favoured at short odds this week in front of what should be a big crowd. Keep in mind though, Brisbane have managed just two wins from four at home this year.
The Sea Eagles can win this game if they continue to play with a chip on their shoulder. They’ll rest a little easier knowing the Broncos have dropped James Roberts, Jamayne Issako and Tevita Pengai to the bench following last week’s loss, and if they can continue to play lively, fast-paced football, they should have no trouble winning their third straight.
