The return of Adam Reynolds has Brisbane’s chances of making the finals still on a thread and they will need to win the majority of the matches in the run home starting this week against Canterbury who are also in the middle of the grid lock for a finals berth.

Brisbane have a strong head-to-head advantage against Canterbury, especially at Suncorp and with the Bulldogs attack looking stale at the moment, I expect the Broncos to be able to score enough points against this tough Doggies defensive line to get away with a tight victory in what is expected to be a low-scoring defensive battle.

Adam Reynolds has a good tryscoring strike-rate against Canterbury and is at good odds to score anytime.

Brisbane have won their past 5 matches against Canterbury.
The past three matches involving Canterbury have been decided by 2 points or less.
The past 6 Canterbury games have gone under the game total.
Adam Reynolds has scored a try in his past 2 games against Canterbury and in 3 of his past 5 matches.

Amazing the impact of one man on the side with the return of Adam Reynolds coming in the knick of time for the Brisbane Broncos. The Broncs got a very important win last week against Newcastle 30-14, breaking a six game losing streak that has put their season in series jeopardy.

Brisbane averaged just 17.66 points in their six losses, while conceding 26 points to their opposition, but with their little general back incharge they flipped those numbers.

The Broncos are two wins out of the eight but with three of their final 6 games against teams that they will be fighting with for a spot in the 2024 NRL Finals they are still a good chance to sneak in if their return to form is the real deal.

The Bulldogs escaped with two extra-time victories against the Sharks and the Warriors but could not do it again in Townsville last week with the Cowboys handing the Bulldogs a 18-20 loss which puts them in a vulnerable position heading into the final six weeks of the season.

The Canterbury defence has taken them a long way from the bottom of the ladder where they finished the 2023 season. They rank in the top three in opposition linebreaks conceded, run metres conceded and points conceded.

The Bulldog’s are now going to need to get their attack firing again during the final quarter of the season, not scoring more than 18 points themselves in the past 4 matches.
