The Broncos welcome back Payne Haas and Kurt Capewell ahead of this week's Magic Round showdown against Manly. Both of them are handy inclusions but controversially it comes at the expense of Kobe Hetherington (bench) and TC Robati (reserves) who were among the Broncos best against South Sydney. Kevie will be hoping that they justify the faith shown in them as they take on a Sea Eagles outfit who sit above them on the ladder at 7th.

It'll be a good gut-check for the Broncos who are looking to make it four wins on the trot for the first time since 2017. I think if the Broncos are going to achieve it, it will come off the back of their forwards and them winning that arm wrestle. If they can create that second phase and bring Kotoni into the game they could take Manly out of the game.

Where they'll want to be careful is defending DCE and his kicking game. Manly have had a lot of success off DCE's boots and with the Broncos back three I'm sure DCE will be looking to test them as often as possible. Martin especially is going to have to hang back and spend less time in the defensive line. I expect at least one attempt at a 1-1 contest with Tom Trbojevic so kick pressure and getting bodies around the ball will be paramount.

I feel like the wet weather might be good for us in this match up. It should help to nullify a bit Turbo and the other speedsters Manly have out wide. Our main strike weapon Staggs relies more on power than speed. We have a strong forward pack that Reynolds should kick well behind. It will still be a tough game, but I think we are a chance, something I wouldn't be saying two weeks ago!

Unless I'm missing something, the change seems to be the hooker and fullback thats made the difference and now Reynolds is playing better then he did at Souths.
