Broncos Can Win Again At Suncorp

After suffering losses in the first two rounds the St George Illawarra Dragons face another defeat at the hands of the Brisbane Broncos at Suncorp Stadium on Thursday night.

Following a defeat at the hands of Melbourne Storm in the opening round the Broncos were quite convincing in defeating the North Queensland Cowboys in Round Two.

Centre James Roberts and winger Corey Oates each scored two tries against the Cowboys and are sure to provide problems for the Dragons.

So will tough man Tevita Pangai, who virtually ended the season for James Taumalolo when they had a head-on test of strength last Friday.

With Taumalolo out with a medial ligament strain as well as having other injuries the signs are not promising for the Cowboys.

The North Queenslanders are up against the Cronulla Sunderland Sharks at 1300miles Stadium and a lot is going to depend, for both sides, on the outcome.
