For all intents and purposes, the Broncos 2016 season is over. They still have a mathematical chance, but they need to win their next two games and require the Raiders to drop both their clashes and for the Knights to lose one of theirs. They'll know ahead of time whether they'll live to fight another day as Canberra play Manly at 12:40pm (which you can catch LIVE on Fox Sports 1), so that will be playing on their minds.

It's 10th vs 11th, so I'm expecting a fairly even game of footy. Melbourne are more than capable of playing quality football, their issue is defence which is ranked 14th in the competition. There have been several games where they've established a strong lead, only to surrender it meekly in a short amount of time. Like Brisbane, they're a young side with a lot of the better players playing up in QCup or NRL level (Nelson Asofa-Solomona, Curtis Scott, Jake Turpin, Charlie Galo).

Good to see another game of high quality defence in the NYC.

Good to see another game of high quality defence in the NYC.

Watching the NYC for the defence is like watching porn because you enjoy their acting capabilities.

Good to see another game of high quality defence in the NYC.

Well some of the NRL sides weren't really focusing on defence this round either.
