We are underway at Suncorp Stadium! Corey Oates brings it back for the home side.
Welcome to Suncorp Stadium where the second placed Brisbane Broncos face the ninth St George Illawarra Dragons in a match that will have huge ramifications for each sides’ 2017 finals aspirations.
The Broncos have made their predicted move from recent weeks with Sam Thaiday to start at hooker for Ben Hunt who will start from the interchange.
The Dragons have a flurry of late changes, with winger Nene MacDonald out, with Euan Aitken coming in at centre, which sees Josh Dugan shift to the wing. Tariq Sims will start at prop for Leeson Ah Mau, while Josh McCrone and Will Matthews join the bench for Taane Milne and Hame Sele dropping out of the 17.
Brisbane have the form heading into this match with consecutive big wins over the Gold Coast and Cronulla in recent weeks, while for the Dragons they have been on the slide, but showed good signs in a big win over the Titans last start.
Stay tuned for all the action @League Unlimited for all the action! Kickoff not far away.
