Brisbane Broncos enter this game on a six-game winning run after their narrow play-off win over the Penrith Panthers in their last match. In that game, they dramatically failed to score any points in the first half, which was disappointing. Still, in the second half, they sharply restructured and returned from a 14-0 loss to win the second half, putting on a 16-0 show of karma. Interestingly, this team excels in scoring points, with only one of their last six games failing to reach 29 points.
