Show Preview
The Melbourne Storm are in need of a win and they’ll back themselves to get one against the Brisbane Broncos when they host them at AAMI Park tonight. Stay up to date with their NRL clash with live scores on The Roar from 8:05pm (AEDT).
A quick glance at the ladder might tell you that the Melbourne Storm – in 11th with one win from three matches – are in trouble, but that would be a lie. Granted, they won’t be happy with coming off second best in back-to-back weeks against fellow contenders in Parramatta and Penrith, but they’ve navigated a brutal stretch fairly well and will be confident of bouncing back in a big way.
Brisbane finally put at end to their lengthy losing streak with a 24-0 drubbing of similarly-hapless Canterbury last week, but look to be in store for a harsh reality check this evening. The Broncos still have plenty of holes to fill before they can consider themselves a finals-ready side, but the comprehensive nature of last week’s win was still encouraging.
The Storm blew the Broncos away when they met last year, winning 46-8 at Suncorp Stadium – their eighth win in a row against Brisbane. The visitors have a shocking record at AAMI Park too, losing on their last four visits and scoring an average of just 13 points.
