Big momentum swings have been a feature of the National Rugby League this year and the New Zealand Warriors want to take full toll if the game starts running their way against Brisbane on Sunday.
The Warriors have made fast starts and held significant leads in both their matches, only the allow the opposition back into the contest.
They ended up failing to hold on against Gold Coast, but manage to withstand a comeback by Cronulla last week to pull away to a 30-16 win.
The Broncos have also had a rollercoaster ride over the opening fortnight and have been involved in two thrilling finishes.
Against North Queensland, they went up 24-0 before having to repel a huge fightback and sneaking home 30-24.
Against Canberra, they were the ones having to do the chasing. After being down 18-0 at halftime, they got to within four points of the Raiders only to fall to a 22-14 defeat.
New Zealand Warrior Jerome Ropati had a simple explanation for the big fluctuations.
"I think it's simply turnovers, cheap ball being turned over," he said.
"I watched Canberra against the Broncos and Canberra just made it hard for themselves. They turned over about five sets in a row."
Ropati said ball security and completions were areas the Warriors needed to improve themselves.
"When we have that momentum, we need to hold on to the ball," he said.
"We need to kick it deep and keep the opposition in the own half. You'll have plenty of momemtum as long you're doing that."
Ropati will again partner the in-form Manu Vatuvei on the left-hand side when the Warriors face the Broncos at Suncorp Stadium.
Vatuvei's finishing has been lethal, with five tries in just two matches, and Ropati is looking to profit if opposition defences start throwing extra resources at trying to neutralise the giant winger.
"Manu is pretty hard to stop even when teams do focus on him and that takes a lot of pressure off the rest of the team," he said.
"I'm hoping he'll give me a try this week because he's been taking all of them on the left edge."
The Warriors received a boost in midweek with half James Maloney successfully fighting a lifting charge that would have led to a two-match ban.
Losing Maloney would have provided a real headache for coach Ivan Cleary, given that the club's No 1 playmaker, Brett Seymour, is out with a broken thumb.
The Broncos, meanwhile, will be without experienced lock and goalkicker Corey Parker, who suffered a knee injury in the loss to Canberra.
As was the case when they faced the Cowboys at Robina, the Warriors will have to contend with another 1pm (local time) kickoff, with temperatures forecast to be in the high 20s Celsius.
However, prop Sam Rapira was philosophical about the prospect of having to battle energy sapping conditions.
"For me, you play in rain, you play in hail, you play in the sun," he said.
"It's just the way the game goes. It doesn't matter what situation you're in. You play in no matter what."
