The Broncos may have pulled off one of the more memorable comebacks in recent history last week, but they still aren't all the way back in the eyes of those on NRL.com's tipping panel.

Heading into round nine, they've attracted more support than usual (apart from when they took on the Bulldogs) but still head into Saturday night's match against North Queensland as outsiders.

According to the experts, the closest match this weekend should be the Wests Tigers v Titans clash at Campbelltown.

In an interesting conundrum regarding the Eels-Roosters match, just two of the 16 tipsters are backing the Tricolours but that pair (Channel Nine commentator Ruan Sims and NRL.com reporter Alicia Newton) just happen to be in first and second spot on the ladder.

Sims' lead in the tipping comp is back to just one game with Newton, Goran Paladin (Sky Sport NZ) and Lone Scout (Fantasy NRL mystery man) snapping at her heels.

Inside the NRL host Zac Bailey and NRL Teams presenter Niav Owens are also going well.
