Melbourne have owned Brisbane for a long time now and even with the Broncos making a return to finals football this year it is unlikely they are going to push the Storm.
Best Bet
There is no bigger domination of one team over another than that of Melbourne over Brisbane. The numbers are staggering. The Storm have won 11 straight against the Broncos with 28 wins in the last 32 meetings. Since 2008, the Storm have covered 22 of 29. Melbourne have posted 30-plus in nine of the last 10 matches against Brisbane with the last 10 all double digit wins. The Storm have won 11 straight against the Broncos at Suncorp with five of the last six by 28-plus.
The Storm get a boost this week with Jahrome Hughes returning. They have covered nine of 12 at Suncorp the last four years and they cover at 67% off a win of 13 or more.
The Broncos’ form has gone south the last few weeks with two losses and a poor win against the Knights,
Melbourne should win and win well.
