Brisbane Broncos vs The Dolphins: Predictions, Odds & Betting Tips

The Brisbane Derby has become one of the most anticipated grudge matches on the schedule and this edition lacks absolutely nothing. Brisbane come into this off a much-needed win in the Grand Final rematch but with drama engulfing the club off the field with questions being asked as to Adam Reynolds’ injury management, assistant Ben Te’o walking out on the club and Payne Haas now sidelined with injury. The Dolphins have some troops returning and ride in off wins against the Titans and Sharks, the latter on the road. The Broncos have won five of the six clashes but the Dolphins have overachieved in covering four of those. Michael Maguire teams cover just 42% when favoured by 3.5 or more while Brisbane cover at just 46% at Suncorp. The Dolphins are better at night with a 26-18 cover record under lights. With Tom Flegler back, this is a Phins side that has the toughness to dominate the Broncos, making them tremendous value as an underdog. Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow has scored 55 tries in 60 games since shifting to the Dolphins. Selwyn Cobbo has 44 tries in 60 games when starting on the wing. Reece Walsh has 30 tries in his last 38 games.
