The upcoming showdown between the Broncos and Dolphins is set to be a cracking encounter, with the Dolphins riding high at the top of the Telstra Premiership ladder like a champion racehorse.
Despite a rocky start to the season with a loss in their opener, the new kids on the block have been in red-hot form with three consecutive victories under their belt, including a mighty 26-16 win over the Wests Tigers at their home ground.
On the flip side, the Broncos have been struggling with a string of injuries, making it a tough slog for them in the competition.
Last week's narrow two-point loss to the Storm marked their third defeat in five games this season, leaving them facing an uphill battle.
In a cruel twist of fate, the Dolphins suffered a blow of their own with key players Tom Flegler and Herbie Farnworth sidelined due to injuries sustained in Round 5.
This setback means they'll be without their star recruits for the upcoming clash against the Broncos.
However, there may be a ray of hope for the Broncos as they could see the return of Reece Walsh, who has been nursing a facial fracture.
With Deine Mariner out with a back injury and Adam Reynolds nursing a hamstring issue, Walsh's potential comeback could provide a much-needed boost for the struggling side.
Despite Brisbane coming out on top in both meetings between these teams last season, the games were closely contested with margins of six and eight points.
The Dolphins will be looking to turn the tables this time around and make a statement on the field, drawing inspiration from their recent winning streak as they aim to continue their climb up the ladder.
