Brisbane’s injury crisis continues with Korbin Sims the latest to join the casualty list but they go in heavy favourites against a Parramatta team sitting dead last and in desperate need of a win. With Origin looming, the Broncos need every premiership point they can get.
Recent Form
Brisbane remain ninth on the ladder with a 6-5 record. They rate ninth in scoring but are a very poor 14th in defence. The Broncos have won three of their last four and have scored 20-plus in six straight. Parramatta are anchored to the bottom of the ladder with just two wins. The Eels rank last in scoring while they are a lowly 12th in defence. The Eels have dropped three straight and have conceded 20 or more in their last four.

Key MatchupDarius Boyd v Clint Gutherson. Broncos fullback Darius Boyd has been dreadfully out of form this year and has failed to reach 90m in four of his last five games. With just a single line break, no team is getting less from the back than Brisbane. Boyd gets one last chance to save his Origin jersey and will need a sharp turnaround in form. Gutherson is out of the frame for an Origin debut but is unquestionably the Eels’ best player. He has shown glimpses of his outstanding 2017 form since returning from injury. If he fires, the Eels are every chance.
