Rumours | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Reserves: Andre Savelio, Sam Tagatese, Marion Seve, Jonus Pearson.
Coach: Wayne Bennett
The Big Question: Should he remain at five-eighth; will Anthony Milford be able to make the same impact on the game without a dominant halves partner?
Predicted Finish: 8th
Author's Note: An interesting one that’s for sure. Would a positional switch between Darius Boyd and Anthony Milford provide the spark that Brisbane is lacking, or will it further the side’s chances of a slide down the ladder?
Also, Matthew Lodge has been intentionally left out of the team. You know why.
