The Melbourne Storm’s hoodoo over the Brisbane Broncos continued in a free-flowing match at Suncorp Stadium.
The Broncos’ decision to rest the majority of their marquee men may have cost them the minor premiership courtesy of a 32-22 loss to Melbourne at Suncorp Stadium.
After taking a 22-20 lead after Storm winger Reimis Smith was sin-binned in the 58th minute, the Broncos were unable to further capitalise. Melbourne livewire Sualauvi Fa’alogo had a debut to remember, crossing for a brilliant double - including a contender for try of the year and then what proved to be the contest’s decisive try with seven minutes remaining.
It followed a double to Grant Anderson, which included a long-distance intercept try to shut down a three-on-two overlap.Tristan Sailor sent a signal to Broncos coach Kevin Walters that he warrants greater opportunities in the NRL, turning in a strong attacking performance.
