Brisbane have had their side decimated but still present as a bet at home against a Dragons team missing their lynchpin.
Best Bet
Brisbane are missing a host of players this week due to injury and Origin duty but even with their long list of outs that includes Payne Haas, Patrick Carrigan, Kurt Capewell and Selwyn Cobbo, the loss of Ben Hunt for the Dragons seems to hurt them more.
The Saints have won five straight against the Broncos but Brisbane’s record at Suncorp makes the Broncos the play.
Brisbane have covered eight of their last nine this season and threw away a backdoor opportunity last week with some dreadful handling errors in the dying minutes.
They have covered 13 of their last 15 at Suncorp. They have covered 18 of 27 at Suncorp off a loss and 8 of 9 at the ground off conceding 30-plus.
The Dragons have covered just 3 of 12 away from Kogarah and Wollongong.
With no Ben Hunt, the Dragons are facing an uphill battle.
Same Game Multi
Corey Oates has 14 tries in 15 games this year and comes off back-to-back doubles. He has four games this season where he has crossed for more than one try.
Kotoni Staggs scored in his last meeting with the Dragons and gets a positive matchup against defensive liability Moses Suli.
Value Bet
Ezra Mam has been electric since winning the Broncos No.6 jersey. He has proven a credible running threat and already has three tries in five games. Mam has scored in both games he has played at Suncorp.
