Brisbane had a slip in Canberra but otherwise have looked the goods in their two victories this season with their defence being the key denominator in their wins. Michael Maguire demands perfection in defence and that will be the focus against the Dolphins who have struggled in attack to start the year.
The lads from Redcliff have not been firing, with their halves unable to unlock their electric backline in 2025. Brisbane forwards pack are going to make that tough again and it is not expected that the Dolphins will get their highest score of the season and crack over 18 points in this match.
Jesse Arthurs was primed and ready for 2025 and if he keeps up this form he will be pushing for an origin jersey this season. Arthurs has at least 1 try in each match this season and he will keep that going against the Dolphins.
- Brisbane have led by 12 points or more at half time in both of their victories this season.
- Dolphins are averaging 14.7 points per game in 2025, scoring 18 points or less in all 3 matches played.
- Dolphins have scored under 18.5 points in 3 of 5 matches against Brisbane.
- Jesse Arthurs has 5 tries in 3 games this season.

The Dolphins are one of three teams that have started the season with a 0-3 record, but are the best of the bunch with a differential of -28.
It has been a tough start incharge for new head coach Kristian Woolf and the Wayne Bennett effect is in full-swing with the master coach leaving and the team falling apart behind him.
Conceding 72 points in defence is fifth worse in the league, but where it isn’t working is in attack for the Dolphins, who have failed to score over 18 points in any of their three matches this season.
The Dolphins had a better stick of possession in their opening two matches and over 60% of the territory but failed to make any real impact at their opponents line. Linebreaks are not being created, breaking the opponents line just 8 times this season compared to being split themselves 17 times.

Brisbane bounced back from their poor performance in the nation's capital to get their second win of the season, beating the Cowboys 26-16 in Round 3 to give them a 2-1 start to 2025.
Brisbane got themselves on the backfoot against the Raiders with some poor defence, but sorted it out against the Cowboys, showing more commitment and more intent to protect their line, which would have pleased new coach Michael Maguire. North Queensland had 70% of the territory and 18 tackles inside the Broncos 20m line and walked off the field at the break scoreless.
Payne Haas has been influential for Brisbane leading the league with 22 tackle busts while at the other end of the field having a 99% tackle efficiency. The NSW prop is leading the way for Brisbane and once his outside backs find their full potential and hit their rhythm, the Broncos attack is going to be a scary force.
