Broncos vs Warriors Predictions & Tips: NRL Round 24 2026
A team of two halves
Fans would’ve hope that the Broncos could repeat their first half effort against the Dolphins in Round 23 which saw them score 5 tries in thrilling fashion. That was short-lived though, as the Dolphins powered home to prevail 40-32 against a blundering Broncos outfit. With just 46% possession and a 79% completion rate, they couldn’t turn their 9.6m per carry into more points. While they set a strong platform in attack, they were loose defensively, allowing 7 line breaks and missing 27 tackles. Ultimately, the power of their opponents was too much. In previous years, this could’ve been a game they closed out but this is further evidence of their decline.
Making a statement
Welcoming the table-toping Panthers to Auckland, the Warriors needed to make a statement with a strong performance. They did just that as they powered their way to a comprehensive 28-12 victory. Leading 18-nil at HT, they continued their dominance in the second half. They controlled the speed of the game with 53% possession and an 83% completion rate, which allowed them to run for 9.9m per carry, make 624 PCM’s, and create 8 line breaks. Despite missing 35 tackles, they scrambled well defensively. This is another chance for them to prove how far they have come in a tricky road match.
Stats that matter
- These two sides met in Round 11 where the Warriors were victorious 42-12. The home team has won 8 out of the past 9 games played.
- The past 5 games between these two sides has seen blowout victories. The average winning margin is 18.4 points. They have been relatively low scoring matches, with the average total points sitting at 46.4.
- Given their struggles this season, it is no surprise to see the Broncos trail the Warriors on both sides of the ball. The home team averages just 18ppg in attack while conceding 27ppg defensively. The Warriors allow just 16ppg while scoring 28ppg.
Quality and execution to determine the winner
The Broncos have been flattered with the odds that are posted, and the value immediately rests with the Warriors. Their performance last week highlights their capabilities, and the Broncos have proven at several points this season that they are lacking consistency. There is no doubt that they will be motivated ahead of this contest but the relentless pressure the Warriors build in their play should expose the lack of maturity the Broncos possess.
Look for the Warriors to generate momentum in the middle of the field first, allowing their crafty outside backs to pressure the Broncos on the edge. This has been an issue for the home side throughout 2026 and while capable enough, consistency still eludes them. Once the Warriors gather enough momentum, they should pull away from their opponents to comfortably cover the line and consolidate their position in the Top 4 on the competition ladder.
