“They’ll want to get this opening 10, 15 minutes right, the Broncos. Otherwise it’ll be a big test,” says Nine’s Andrew Johns as the second half gets underway.
Brisbane get first use of the ball and they get an early penalty too as Cameron Munster is pinged for an attempted strip in a three-man tackle. Then the Broncos get a set restart, and then a penalty – and a full set inside Melbourne’s 20 metres.
They don’t need a full set to crack the Storm at last, Reece Walsh double pumping then sending Jordan Riki over.
Fox League’s try predictor only gave Brisbane a 37% chance of scoring next but the premiers proved it wrong very quickly.
Storm 14, Broncos 6 with 37 minutes left
