MATCH PREVIEW
The Brisbane Broncos will need to reverse a shocking hoodoo dating back to 2016 when they take on the Melbourne Storm in last year’s grand final rematch.
For the Storm Alec MacDonald has successfully returned from a concussion he suffered against the Eels in Round 1, replacing Ativalu Lisati at second row, while Jack Hetherington joins the bench.
For the Broncos Ben Hunt starts at halfback for the injured Adam Reynolds, while Blake Mozer joins the bench.
Brisbane haven’t beaten the Storm in Melbourne in their past nine meetings.
It’s not just recent history the Storm have the edge though.
Remarkably, the Storm have won 43 of the 60 games between the two sides all time.
With that said, it was the Broncos saluting in the all-important 2025 decider, however, the form of these two teams couldn’t be any different entering this clash.
The Broncos are under pressure after two losses to start the season, with Michael Maguire facing the blowtorch again while Melbourne have scored 98 points in their two dominant victories.
