Penrith Panthers vs Brisbane Broncos Preview
Penrith has barely raised a sweat in powering to a 5-0 record. The defending premiers have won their matches by an average margin of 15.6 points and cruised to a 32-12 victory over Canterbury last Sunday.
Unsung fullback Dylan Edwards scooped three richly-deserved Dally M votes, but the Panthers have been outstanding 1-17 all season.
Brisbane responded to dismal back-to-back losses to North Queensland and the Warriors with a gutsy 24-20 loss to the Roosters – a game they easily could have won. Kotoni Staggs, Corey Oates
and Adam Reynolds turned a corner, while Payne Haas overcame a week of controversy with another monster showing.
But in a bitter blow, Haas has been ruled out this week by the NRL for his off-field scuffle with teammate Albert Kelly.
Penrith has won its last three against Brisbane, though both 2021 clashes between the eventual champs and the cellar dwellers were hard-fought. The Panthers won 20-12 in Round 6 and 18-12 in Round 19 – both at Suncorp Stadium. The clubs’ last four clashes all produced 37 points or less.
The Panthers are on a 19-match winning streak at home and it’s very difficult to see them getting tripped up here. The Broncos showed enough last week to suggest they can avoid a blowout loss – but Haas’ absence is a monumental hurdle to overcome.
