Melbourne Storm vs Brisbane Broncos Preview

Melbourne will look to extend its dominance over Brisbane when the two top-four hopefuls clash at AAMI Park on Thursday night. The Storm boast an extraordinary record against the Broncos, winning 26 of their last 29 meetings since 2011, and will be keen to tighten their grip on a top-two finish.

Craig Bellamy’s side edged past Parramatta 16-10 last week despite resting several key players, but welcome back a full-strength lineup, including Trent Loiero at lock. Brisbane also regains firepower, with Payne Haas returning from a leg infection in a timely boost following last round’s 60-14 demolition of South Sydney.

With both sides at near full strength and September looming, this shapes as a blockbuster. The Storm’s dominance in this rivalry is hard to ignore, but a hungry Broncos outfit chasing a double chance could make this their best opportunity yet to flip the script.
