The Broncos attempt to revive their NRL season when they host the Roosters at Suncorp on Friday night.<\/p>\n
It’s been grim going for the defending champions, with just five wins from 14 matches for Brisbane in 2026 and six straight losses coming into Round 17.<\/p>\n
They’re racked by injuries, notably Adam Reynolds, Ezra Mam and Patrick Carrigan, all core members of their spine.<\/p>\n
Sydney have issues of their own, despite sitting fourth on the table. After winning six straight from late March to early May, they’ve now lost three of their last five.<\/p>\n
Last week was a good settler though, winning 27-8 against fellow top-four contenders the Sharks.<\/p>\n
Not only are the Roosters in far better shape than Brisbane this season, but they’ve also had the wood over them in the head-to-head and at this venue.<\/p>\n
Sydney have won nine of the last 12 matches between these sides, including their Round 9 meeting this year 38-24, and the last five at Suncorp.<\/p>\n
The Roosters have good reason to get up for this one too, with James Tedesco playing his 200th.<\/p>\n
Brisbane have struggled to score this season, averaging just 14.2 points per game over their last five.<\/p>\n
The Roosters haven’t been great on this front either, with their last five matches seeing an average score of 15.8.<\/p>\n
Nawaqanitawase is red-hot at the moment, with 12 tries in 2026, five of which have come in his last two games.<\/p>\n
The Roosters’ winger also picked up an Origin double earlier this month.<\/p>\n
Running against a defence that is heavily reshuffled and has already conceded 389 points this season, back Nawaqanitawase to find a way over again.<\/p>\n
