Melbourne Storm vs Brisbane Broncos Preview

Short-handed Melbourne grafted out a 26-18 win over Sydney Roosters at the SCG last Saturday to improve to 11-3, with backline fill-ins Grant Anderson and Marion Seve both bagging doubles.

With Xavier Coates and Reimis Smith out for the medium-term, the pair retain their places this week – though Ryan Papenhuyzen’s inclusion in the reserves could see Nick Meaney revert to the wing in a late change, however at the time of writing the Storm’s named an unchanged 17.

Brisbane made another statement to extend its winning streak to seven matches, outlasting in-form Canberra 24-18 despite a host of injury problems and Origin absentees, but they will have to deal with the absences of Adam Reynolds, Herbie Farnworth and Cory Paix.

Origin guns Selwyn Cobbo, Kurt Capewell and Kotoni Staggs return, while Payne Haas has been cleared to play, journeyman Tyrone Roberts fills the No.7 hotseat in the halves alongside outstanding rookie Ezra Mam.

The Storm have won 27 of their last 31 against the Broncos. Somewhat encouragingly for the Broncos, their last three wins in the rivalry came at AAMI Park.

But they have conceded 40-plus points in their last four against the Storm, losing by margins of 28 or more.

Reynolds’ rib injury is a real shame for the Broncos, who are as well-placed as any stage of recent years to break their Storm bogey.

They are also chasing eight straight wins for the first time since 2015, nevertheless, an 18-point line is a bit of an insult to Kevvie Walters’ charges during a section of the season where the Storm can be vulnerable.
