Brisbane Broncos vs New Zealand Warriors - Round 24, 2026
The result
The Warriors were far too good at Suncorp Stadium, running out 40 to 6 winners over the Broncos. Jacob Laban scored the first try inside 9 minutes and the Warriors led 20 to 0 at halftime, with the margin never in doubt from there.
How it unfolded
The Warriors ran for 1663 metres to the Broncos' 1152 and made 5 line breaks to the Broncos' 3. The home side did lead one count, getting through 11 offloads to the Warriors' 4, though it counted for little on the day.
Against projection
Blake Mozer's 39 points blew past his projection of 14, and Patrick Carrigan's 67 sat 12 above his own forecast of 55. Reece Walsh managed only 6 against a projected 51 and was withdrawn well short, finishing with 19 minutes, while Ezra Mam played the full match but returned just 8 points against a projection of 37.
Price moves
Jaiyden Hunt rose $39,000 after scoring 39 against a break even of just 3, and Leka Halasima climbed $33,000 having posted 39 against a break even of 6. On the other side, Josiah Karapani fell $41,000 after his 3 against a break even of 46, with Kotoni Staggs dropping $34,000 after scoring 22 against a break even of 60.
Ownership outcome
Payne Haas, likely among the most held Broncos in fantasy sides, top-scored for his club with 68 from 66 minutes. Mitchell Barnett backed that up for the Warriors with 55 from 60 minutes, giving coaches on both key men a return well clear of the rest of the sides on show.
