Now, against a Warriors team boasting the imposing Addin Fonua-Blake, they will need to find another gear.The 27-year-old’s ability to isolate a smaller rival close to the line has led to nine tries, the most of any prop in 2023. The Warriors have scored 108 tries this year. Dallin Watene-Zelezniak’s 22 makes up a little more than a fifth.
Broncos centre Herbie Farnworth and winger Jesse Arthars – with just 37 missed tackles between them – will be on high alert for an onslaught. While centres Rocco Berry and Adam Pompey have been steady performers, the outside men as a group have lacked Brisbane’s danger. “Our defence has been really good this year, and we spoke this week about our defence leading the way again tomorrow night,” Walters said.They both entered the season as two of the more unheralded hookers in the NRL, but there is no more hiding for Billy Walters and Wayde Egan.
