Penrith Panthers vs Brisbane Broncos Preview
Brisbane suffered a hammerblow to their chances of winning the Grand Final rematch with Penrith when star halfback Adam Reynolds was ruled out. The Broncos have a potent attack but it does not work without Reynolds pulling the strings. Penrith have lost James Fisher-Harris but look reasonably settled. The key to this matchup is the venue. Penrith are near unstoppable at home. The Panthers are 22-10 against the spread at Bluebet and 17-8 against the number at the ground when favoured by more than a converted try. A couple of other angles push the Panthers here too. They have won six of seven against Brisane and they cover at a clip of 77% off conceding 18 or more.
Brisbane have conceded five of their six tries this year through the middle and Martin runs that courage in-line. He has four tries in his last eight games. Taylan May was the Panthers top tryscorer in 2022 and has looked electric this year. Sunia Turuva has nine tries in his last 10 games.
