Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane
The Titans were hammered off the park by the Dragons last week and now must regroup for the clash against big brother. The Broncos have a few injury concerns with Corey Oates and Tevita Pangai Jnr ruled out for the clash against the Titans. The Broncos are 18-5 all-time in their Queensland rivalry with the Gold Coast Titans and are short odds to get another victory here.
FormBrisbane were embarrassed by the Dragons on the road in the season opener but have bounced back with a home win against North Queensland and a lucky try-less 9-7 victory over the Wests Tigers. The Broncos are conceding 20.4ppg. The Titans stunned the Raiders in their season opener but have been appalling over the last fortnight, losing 20-8 to the Warriors before a humiliating 54-8 loss to the Dragons in Toowoomba. The Titans have scored just 16 points over the last fortnight and have conceded 34ppg in their three games.
Key MatchupAnthony Milford v Kane Elgey: The ‘Milf’ has made a steady start to the season, but The Wolf is expecting him to explode against the struggling Titans. With the departure of Ben Hunt in the offseason, it’s up to Milford to take control of the side. He had 20 try-assists and scored seven tries last season and it’s only a matter of time before he clicks into gear. There’s no kind way of saying this, but Kane Elgey simply doesn’t look like a first grader. He has struggled since his return from an ACL injury and is a turnstile in defence. If he puts out another poor performance, Garth Brennan will have no choice but to drop him to QLD Cup.
