Nine’s game of the round: Dolphins v Broncos
Speaking on the Billy Slater Podcast ahead the Battle of Brisbane, NRL on Nine expert commentator and Queensland Maroons coach, Billy Slater, said: “Despite the noise around the players that aren’t available, you have to remember the ones that are a very high quality.
“For the Dolphins it’s great news that Tom Flegler may be fit to play against his old club for the first time. There’s enough quality for the Broncos on show with Kotoni Staggs, Selwyn Cobbo and Reece Walsh all able to break the game open at any stage.
“It’s going to be a beauty with the atmosphere at Suncorp and I’m excited to be there to call the action for Nine.”
