ROUND 15 PREDICTIONS

• • Dolphins crippled by Origin absences (Tabuai-Fidow, Cobbo, Flegler, Finefeuiaki, Plath, Barnett) negating their 5-game winning streak; Lesson 13 (Panthers-Warriors) applies directly
• • Roosters' spine hooker Reece Robson cleared to return from fractured thumb, transforming their attacking structure after L5 collapse; Lesson 13 (Wests-Tigers-Bulldogs) on spine returns compressing form margins
• • Trent Robinson's 2-0 coaching record vs Kristian Woolf + Roosters' 2-0 H2H dominance (avg +31) provide structural edge that persists across seasons
• • Home ground advantage (Suncorp) mitigates but does not eliminate Roosters' edge; Dolphins' depleted spine and backline cannot compensate

Updated 20h ago

• • Both teams in L5 form slump with 0% win rate; neither has momentum
• • State of Origin decimation worse for Broncos: Reece Walsh (fullback #1) and Payne Haas absent vs Rabbitohs losing Murray; spine synergy severely compromised
• • Rabbitohs home advantage at Accor Stadium with expected crowd support despite poor form
• • Coaching record even (1-1) Bennett vs Maguire; recent H2H slightly favours Broncos (60-14 win) but at Rabbitohs' home ground context differs
