Broncos and Raiders
This is the situation facing the eighth-placed Broncos and ninth-placed Raiders heading into Round 24.
Brisbane are two points ahead and hold a 46 points differential advantage. So, even a narrow loss tonight might be enough to keep them in the eight heading into the final round. A win, of course, will result in much better sleep for coach Kevin Walters over the coming nights.

60 one week, how many the next?
Last Friday Brisbane conceded 60 points in a shocking loss to the Storm. It’s safe to say they’ll improve but will they find enough to win? You’d have to think they to start very well. If the Eels steamroll them early the demons of last week are sure to return.
