Highlighting the significance of the Dolphins vs. Broncos game, Billy Slater, NRL on Nine expert commentator and Queensland Maroons coach, shared his thoughts on the Billy Slater Podcast:

“Despite the noise around the players that aren’t available, you have to remember the ones that are of very high quality. For the Dolphins, having Tom Flegler possibly fit to play against his old club for the first time is great news.

With players like Kotoni Staggs, Selwyn Cobbo, and Reece Walsh, the Broncos have enough quality to turn the game at any moment. The atmosphere at Suncorp is going to be electric, and I’m thrilled to be there to call the action for Nine.”
