Sunday NRL action has just the sole fixture in Brisbane as the Broncos host the Dragons at the same ground which will feature the State of Origin on Wednesday. Before then, you will need a bank of money to call upon and this NRL Betting preview will hopefully offer that for you.
The Broncos are a new team this year and despite losing a host of Origin players, they will not want to give up a match at home without a fight. The Dragons are a tricky opponent though; they’re on a 2-game winning streak and will sense an opportunity to solidify their standing in the Top 8.

Match Preview
The Broncos suffered a 40-26 loss last week to their rivals, the Cowboys, and were flattered on the scoreboard with the scoring of two late tries. They were outplayed in most areas and missed too many tackles (48) to be able to halt their opponent’s momentum. There were no such issues for the Dragons in their 12-10 victory over the Raiders in testing weather conditions. In the end, they adapted better and made their opponents pay for their mistakes.
The loss of players to Origin impacts both sides by the Broncos appear better placed to handle it. While their forward are weaker, they still have the composed approach of Reynolds at halfback, steering a spine around who is more than familiar with one another. Therefore, they are listed as favourites ($1.74 vs $2.10) and appear to be capable of overcoming the Dragons. This Broncos side has developed a lot in 2022 and will not want to take a step backwards with a poor performance either. Everything is pointing towards a comfortable victory form them.
Alternate Bets:
Broncos 13+ ($4.00)
Oates & Staggs to Score ($4.80)
Broncos -1.5
$1.90 (4 Units)
