Melbourne Storm vs Brisbane Broncos Preview
Melbourne have done nothing but beat the tar out of Brisbane since losing the 2006 Grand Final to them and with the cavalry arriving this week, more of the same seems to be on the cards. The Storm are 31-5 since that infamous decider and since 2008, Melbourne have covered 25 of 33. Cameron Munster and Jahrome Hughes return from injury and suspension respectively and that not only boosts the confidence but will unlock the highly talented backline. The Storm have covered 15 of 23 at AAMI when favoured by more than a try while underdogs of at least a try cover at just 40%. Melbourne are a great bet to run away with this. Brisbane have conceded eight of 17 tries through the middle this year equal worst with the Cowboys so fancy Harry Grant, who has two tries in five showings against the Broncos. The Pap has 49 tries in 57 games starting at NRL level. Will Warbrick scored a double in his only regular season clash against the Broncos.
