With Darren Lockyer set to become the first player in NRL history to play 350 games on Friday, it is hard to see them not putting in 110% again.
Do the smart thing and wrap your head around Nick T's hot NRL tips for this weekend.
BRISBANE (v North Queensland)
1.5 units at match odds of $1.65
There was a lot to like about Brisbane's come-from-behind win against New Zealand last Saturday.
On a big night for skipper Darren Lockyer, the Broncos fell behind early but never lost their composure or their confidence. Even when the Warriors rallied to level the scores, the Broncos continued to look like winners.

The Broncos have won seven of eight against North Queensland and Johnathan Thurston may take a game to find his timing after returning from a nasty knee worry.

NEW ZEALAND (v Newcastle)
3 units at match odds of $1.40
The Warriors may have been beaten by the Broncos last Saturday but they lost no admirers in a strong showing.
The play of the halves was particularly impressive. Shaun Johnson was wonderful and scored one of the most sensational tries you ever will see. Five-eighth James Maloney just continues to get better.
The Knights have been red hot over the last fortnight, putting 90 points on, but those wins came against cellar dwellers Gold Coast and Canberra.
The Warriors have won nine of 11 against Newcastle, with the Knights not winning at Mt Smart since 2005. The weaknesses of the Knights halves will prove telling here.
New Zealand should win...and win big.

SOUTH SYDNEY (v Canberra)
2 units at match odds of $1.60
It all turned around for South Sydney at half-time during the Dragons game two weeks back.
They overcame a 20-0 deficit against the defending premiers and then came out on Monday night and whooped Parramatta with such ferocity it was tough to watch, running rampant in a 56-6 destruction of the Eels.
The best sign for the Bunnies has been the return to form and fitness of Greg Inglis and Dave Taylor and the continual improvement of hooker Issac Luke. Against Canberra, they could be up for another big score.
The Raiders enter the game with no hooker, little confidence and a terrible attitude. Souths won in Canberra last year and they can go again.
