Brisbane Broncos vs Parramatta Eels Preview
A little solace for Broncos fans ahead of the 2021 season surely is that the only way is up.
Whether or not that begins in Round 1 however is certainly up in the air, as they come up against a credible Parramatta side in Friday’s primetime match.
Utterly putrid is probably the nicest and most concise way to describe what 2020 was for the Brisbane Broncos, and it ultimately resulted in their first ever wooden spoon.
Players have left, so too have staff and a clean slate, and prospects ahead of the new season is a win in itself.
I have been a massive pot on the Parramatta Eels for many season, I tipped them to go out of the finals in straight sets last season and was proven correct, and I’m confident of a similar performance and result from them in 2021.
That aside, I still think they have lengths on the Broncos, and I think they’ll be comfortable Friday night winners.
