Brisbane ended a 14-year home losing run against Melbourne in style as Storm suffered injuries to Xavier Coates and Ryan Papenhuyzen
Reynolds leads win, Storm’s Coates and Papenhuyzen injuredBrisbane blitzed Melbourne 26-0 to end a 5,285-day losing drought against theirThe Broncos coach, Kevin Walters, said before the stunning win that he did not believe in hoodoos. His players showed they were on board, and to a man were far too good for the visitors in front of 50,197 fans. Brisbane skipper Adam Reynolds produced a masterclass and fullback Reece Walsh turned it on in the second half.
Winger Selwyn Cobbo iced the win with another try, as Brisbane bashed the clunky and clumsy Storm into submission throughout. Middle forwards Payne Haas, Thomas Flegler and Pat Carrigan supreme as the Broncos beat the Storm at home for the first time since 2009. Brisbane’s transformation from collective turnstiles in defence in 2020 to brick walls under Walters in 2023 has been astounding. Three years ago they conceded more than 30 points per game in the regular season. This year it was 17.7 through 24 rounds.
