Scratchy Lions face tricky test in derby
SATURDAY, 3.10PM
It looks like a mismatch on paper, but this is the sort of banana-peel game that can make or break Brisbane’s season. The Lions have dominated the Q-Clash over the years and are strong favourites again, but they’ve dropped their past two games and have fallen outside the top four. Injuries have played a part, but they need a big win to steady the ship ahead of the finals. The Suns have been on the improve and challenged the high-flying Bulldogs last week, but the issue is whether they can keep fighting with finals gone.
