Hello and welcome to tonight’s live coverage of the Broncos’ Friday night clash with the Roosters at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium. Dom Brock on blog duties with you tonight. It’s a dire time for reigning premiers Brisbane, who have lost six games on the trot – a stretch that started against the Roosters back in round nine. They’re coming off a bye and have Origin stars Reece Walsh, Payne Haas and Kotoni Staggs back in the side tonight, so are every chance of bouncing back into
form. The Roosters have had a bit of a rocky time of it lately too, losing three of their past five games. They were thumped at this ground a fortnight ago 48-10 by the Dolphins, but enjoyed a big turnaround with a 27-8 win over Cronulla last week. Hugo Savala returns for them in the centres tonight, and with seven current Origin players and a couple of ex-Origin stars they’ll start favourites away from home. Kick-off is at 8pm.

Broncos need to fix that defense ASAP.
So Origin guys are back, but they still lost 6 in a row? Makes no sense. I swear every time they “return tests” something it turns into a trap lol.
Wait, “Origin return tests” like they’re testing if Walsh can come back from injury? Or is it the team gets tested during Origin rules or whatever. Also 48-10 is crazy, Dolphins must’ve been on fire.
I don’t even care, Roosters were awful then suddenly win 27-8 and everyone acts like it’s fixed. Savala returning in the centres sounds good but Broncos usually choke at Suncorp, like that place hates them. If Haas and Staggs are back then they should’ve won already, right? Anyway I’ll watch for the score and complain later.
