The Brisbane Broncos have their sights set on three-straight wins as they prepare to face the Gold Coast Titans in the South-East Queensland derby.
Kevin Walters' side will play a rare Sunday afternoon game at Suncorp Stadium as they look to build on last week's win over Manly.
The clash will also serve as the final opportunity for players from both teams to put their hands up for State of Origin selection before squads are announced after round 12.
Brisbane are likely to welcome back Reece Walsh from a knee injury that kept him out of Magic Round, with Walters optimistic Payne Haas will be fit to play after picking up a lower leg injury last weekend.
The Titans are looking to rebound after a four-point loss to the Knights last Saturday.
