Brisbane Broncos vs Sydney Roosters Preview

This has been a great month for the Broncos. Last week against the Tigers, the Broncos had a quick start, with Deine Mariner scoring five minutes into the game.

Another five unanswered tries gave the Broncos a 34-0 lead 66 minutes into the game. The match ended with the Broncos winning 34-10. They look phenomenal right now, but if there’s any team that can give them a tough time, it’s the Roosters.

They were equally as impressive in their last match, against the Dragons in round 7. Recovering from a slow start, they closed the show with a 60-point victory. Sam Walker delivered a spectacular performance controlling the ball through much of the game.

He also contributed a try, a line-break assist and two try assists. If the Roosters bring this energy against the Broncos, they will be a difficult proposition for the Brisbane Broncos.

This match will be the second time the Roosters meet the Broncos this season. Both teams faced off in round one, with the Roosters winning 20-10. The Broncos fared poorly, struggling to gain control over the ball and having an even tougher time scoring. The Roosters seem to have figured the Broncos out, handing them six losses in their last eight meetings.

Nevertheless, the Broncos opened as 5.5-point home favorites, as they did in the last game between the two sides. They’re 8.5-point favorites, making the Roosters the underdogs once again. Considering their current form, it's tough to see the Roosters getting past them.
