Brisbane v New Zealand
What a rip snorter of a game this should be. Brisbane in 5th could swap places with Adelaide with a win and New Zealand demolished Illawarra earlier in the round scoring 130 points and breaking several records.
Adelaide had a chance to lock in 4th spot last night and things were looking good until the 4th quarter when Perth Cottoned on to the plan. Now every Adelaide fan is a Kiwi for the day. We'll be wearing all black and swapping our thongs for jandals. It is going to be choice!
Brisbane need this win to prove they are the real thing and not just hanging around making up numbers. Lemanis too will be the one under pressure to deliver more than a couple of wooden spoons. Patterson is playing his roll with a Trumpesque wall in defence and creating plenty of scoring opportunities in offence, but needs some help.
130 points was pretty impressive and the Breakers won't score that today, but I think they might just break the century. Unfortunately I think Brisbane might just score 1 point more.
