A spot in the NRL grand final is on offer for the Melbourne Storm and Brisbane Broncos as they do battle at AAMI Park. The match is scheduled to kick-off on Friday, September 22 at 7:55pm (AEST).
Melbourne’s run as the competition’s benchmark team continued in 2017, with the Storm dropping just four games all season to comfortably claim the minor premiership.
They had to fight tooth and nail to see off Parramatta in their qualifying final, but enjoyed a week off after their thrilling triumph.
Brisbane recovered from a so-so first month of the season, with a 14-5 run from Round 6 onwards carrying them to a third-placed finish.
They suffered a heartbreaking loss to the Roosters in their qualifying final, but got the job done against Penrith last week to stay in the premiership hunt.
