week's humiliation at the hands of the Dolphins Nelson with the first hit up the storm have got the footy they're running away from the southern end Bronx kicking off and ASA for Solomon 15 from his own line when taken thearrow the next carry Midway goal line and halfway the storm in there away white with the purple trim left Edge blow runs into the defense nice tackle made by Mariner to stop him five in from touch on the western side a doesn't from halfway on this glorious night for footy really good conditions at the Cadron learo to within a couple from halfway next carry now King down the middle third into attacking territory by five that's five tackles in the opening set Hughes with that helmet as ever booting downfield at the end of the set caught by corot the crowd favorite he takes the ball to within 15 of his own line before being tackled Cory oats basically said during the week that he doesn't expect a contract offer to come his way needs a try tonight to go to 122 tries for the Bronx which would take him to equal second with Darren Lockup in that stat brisman with the footage nice tackle made by King and also uh on the the ball carrier there in Baker who's tackled short of the 30 now Jensen's push back that's a good tackle moners there along with Grant out of dummy half Walters gives it right Edge no way through for Ricky quick to his feet to play the ball 15 from halfway Blind Side given to Reynolds Kicks Down field a bit of a screwing ball Which F Longo delicately keeps in the F of field of play he gathered it realized that his momentum was about to take him over the Western touch line with a step so he just deply flipped it behind his back and then cleaned up his mess and ran up to the 30 m line as now coats on return on one of those lateral yet straightening runs as tackled 20 in from the right 15 from halfway what a kick for the Broncos Captain rles he put his skew on it turn is going to the right hand side it was a 4020 for certain and Fa Longo defuse what was a great a great kick good work by the custodian for the storm though use he's now with the ball and tackled 40 m out from the Broncos line no score early on a ASA for solomona directed infield off a straightening run pass there from the arrow to him he's up to the 30 blindsided right at the end of the set grant gives it to fellow helmeted Hughes shallow bomb coming down about 12 M out no one catches it it bounces oats Taps it backwards he's got a man there to clean it up and Arthurs is there to take possession for br chisman left side and 10 from their own line now o runs into the line takes the tackle 13th all time on the games played for the Broncos corot this is his 216th appearance in the NRL tonight all of them been for Brisbane Baker to the 20 and now carrian to the 30 carrian left Edge he's got some footy to come Beyond tonight though you'd expect with maaninga Kangaroos and the Pacific Championship Walters inside the 40 kicks downfield in very similar position F Longo doesn't have to trip the light fantastic he gathers that shapes to do a little kick runs lateral on the infield bounces away from a tackle or two before being stopped 18 from halfway there's a bit of Reese Walsh about Fogo I love watching him play he's young and exciting and only going to get better yeah he made his Debo in the corresponding game last year when the storm rested all their players scored two tries on Deo that night right side shift mean he's got the ball Palms away from Arthurs gets away from Rogers before running into Arthurs again and on the second occasion he's able to make the tackle Melbourne play it out on the right five into attacking territory no score early on in perfect conditions at the codron Kwa one out stopped 15 in from touch on the right 35 M out past the left in center field Hughes pops it up for learo into the line he goes trenle arrow on a straightener in Milbourne 28 M out last play called by referee Smith it's given to Hughes Hughes puts up a bomb for the left side coats is looking to fly but out blown by Cobo great catch he's tackled though 8 m from his own line see they're winning the arm wrestle though the storm their field position is really starting to press home here and you can just see that they're just running bigger harder making margin across the the scrummage line they're just too big and too strong at the moment well even there the crowd little going up there cuz as of for solomona pushed marinina back and now next carry is still only 15 from the goal line by Baker right side of the rck Ricky goes on a one out run and Jordan Ricky is tackled for Brisbane Midway goal line and halfway Walters passes infield carrian changes Direction on an angled run he wanted to run at grant grant there to make the tackle with help of liero last play Brisbane they're still on their own 30 so it's Reynolds boot to get them out of territory again he goes with that screw kick towards the 20 but it's fielded by the buy Longo near the 30 picks it up runs back at them and is going to be 8 m from halfway when stopped Z on the touch line couldn't ask for a better night for footy could we oh it's absolutely superb about to put the the ABC hoodie on actually it's pretty cool down here as we see hath getting pushed back I can't get over the intensity in defense for the Melbourne storm they are absolutely dominating the Broncos the Broncos can't get out of their own half they're almost in their own 20 every possession and now Nelson on a charge down the middle three Broncos around him to stop him Jensen along with Ricky and walers make the tackle Grant to the right monster at the line dubbies does a spin Walters makes the tackle well read by the ex stor man knows a thing or two about them now to the right through the hands of Hughes onto Kwa now meany gives the pass to wri puts him a grubber fielded by sailor and the brisban fullbacks got possession he's tackled immediately defensive left side when you watch the storm what you love about it is every tackle has a thought behind it they're testing the line around the rck a Defender B Defender C Defender out wide everything's the strategy is let's just see is anybody lazy Jensen up to the 30 for brisban he's taken down plays the ball there to Walters passes to the right through caran to Reynolds at the line to sail a catch and give to marinina who evades one runs over halfway gives the pass back to Reynolds mster was right there to make the tackle and monster puts Reynolds down 40 m out good little line break there from the Bronx front football Reynolds tackled so it's sail a kick at the end of the set it's a high floating bomb which fire Longo catches brilliantly watch out he's got 25 to run beats the first line of defense gets the halfway here comes walers 40 to go 30 to go puts on the step and slips over and Billy jumps on him oh Su fire Longo he is an excitement machine and from the kick downfield now melbour on the attack they shift from right to left in fact moner pops it up for the centering run of mean who's tackled only 10 m out he'll play the football to Grant passes left for moner flat ball to blow nice to read defensively by Mar good tackle to to put him down Storer only five out out in the left Blind Side Grant gives it on to howth goes himself spins close to the line knocked it on in trying to ground it so the Broncos survived off the loose carry from Jack howth and saw F Longo again reminds us yep he's he's got something he has got something Billy wow he's special he's uh born and raised in m so obviously he's a a headline product down there as coming through the pipeline their system but use the word hanging on Surviving that's what you feel like the Broncos doing at the moment and you're just waiting for the storm to open them up and that was a good little passage of play there by the Bronx but from the kick return F Longo just cut them apart guy Adam Reynolds is about to feed this scrum but he's struggling down here he really has recovered since he got dumped in that last tackle we move well I I'm used during the week Zone as to whether or not they play him he's the club captain and he's so important and they need to hit back so I can see why he has been named but it probably shows the burden that he's got as a 34y old who really has has struggled physically this season but he's got a front up tonight but that's I suppose you get the big bucks you're the number seven you're the captain that's what you got to do Jensen is tackled 12 from halfway nil the score line early on Thursday Night 40 on ABC Sport carrian to the right through Reynolds to sailor catch and give to Marin over halfway this time Hoth makes the tackle he was the guy that got beaten the previous little bust but howth there brings him down 40 out from the Melbourne line last play Brisbane it's a bomb from Reynolds F Longo catches it it doesn't out and immediately he's tackled 22 M from the line he is defending what Reynolds has brought today is his kicking game he's had three or four ripping kicks that have challenged the fallback and that one not on the grass but in the air and F Longo diffused it well but he's asking plenty of questions of the catches for the storm World Cup football not too far away halfway through the first term in the AFL Delong 3523 lead Port 128 9 and 1 half minutes played here Brisbane nil Melbourne nil as now hu to the right meany steps in behind oats passes to the wing for wrick beats the tackle of Rogers up to the 30 up to the 20 full back at his sight beats him scores welcome back will wri and Melbourne strike first The Cauldron well it's taking 10 minutes and you've felt and we've already commented that the Broncos are just hanging on they're completely outclass here they're playing big brother and they are toying with him everything everything about the collisions at the rck whether the Broncos defending or running the storm is just faster bigger stronger and right now they look great and will wrick players there and I love the dive at the end there I'll go back to what I said about Reynolds he's really struggling with the wrist he's got it strapped but I just wonder how long he can last out there as for the storm well usually they're Rusty when they come back off a week off doesn't look like it for them oh that that program would have been very thoroughly put through to ensure they hit the ground running tonight Min straight in front should convert does convert he's now kicked 87 goals from 111 attempts this year Nick meany Melbourne 6 lead Brisbane nil you're hearing Thursday night footy live on the national broadcaster ABC Sport at The Cauldron AFL jalong 3624 Port 2214 that's a qualifying final at the Adelaide oval on the SMS 0467 920 triple 2 is the number to get in touch Chris from gimpy's asking what odds would you give me on Reynolds playing more than 50% of games next season I think it's foolish to hang our hat on him taking us to the finals next year Chris one of our Broncos fans so third year in this is his 13th game of 2024 having played basically the full compliment the the first two years he was at the club 23 games last year obviously they had a few more to play because they got all the way to the Grand Final and 20 games in 2022 so he been very durable when he was of course recruited here because souths thought that he was an injury issue very durable until this season Melbourne get a penalty off the restart for a hand on the ru from carrian so the storm will get a piggy back down field Nelson s took the ball into the line into the heart of Broncos defense offloaded howth had a great little run off the back of it and you can just see as I said they are rolling through this Bronco side and this is going to be a hard night for the Bronx they've got to stick their tackles because you just sense that the Stormer here to play and I'll answer Chris's question my odds are better than 50% good because he is a troan and he is a professional he knows how important he is to this club and bouncing back next year so yeah I reckon he will play more than 50% may need him learo into attack storm now off the benefit of that kick down field oh once again on the Press they lead 60 moner to the left a spin from Bla offload dummy there from howth but he's tackled the defense didn't take the dummy to coat who now comes in as dummy half passes to monster Shimmy's left passes right in center field through Grant sweeping Bard to Hughes given there through the hands fire Longo out in the right to wall brick over the 20 up to the 10 fall back to beat and covering Defender Winger two yet again wall Brick's got a double 10 nil Melbourne kick to come Z know look at the body language of those Bronx right now they are out on their feet their heads are down they're just walking in to hear almost like the death nail and we're 26 minutes to go in this first half the storm I shouldn't talk about the Broncos I should wrap the storm what we're seeing we're seeing Precision I mentioned about every play every pass is part of the the program you men about the program last year they faulted right here at this point they arested everybody and got caught round one of the finals that never happens to the storm and they've learned from it right o Zan right now I'm seeing an absolute machine that's the height of its powers and they here to play and they they're going to be so hard to beat for this Premiership okay firstly I hate doing this because he's one of my good mates mot is being found out by the speed of will Warrick there's no doubt about that the Melvin storm they are really targeting here on that side secondly they they are just amazing the way that they're able to find space and the other thing the Broncos this may be just me reading it but they went for those trick plays with the 402s early on they weren't making any meters through the middle they weren't um really putting some interchange of passes together they tried to do the trick plays they didn't come up with anything and now it looks like they've just gone oh WT too high it's only early but we'll wait and see me from 25 M out a meter and a half in from the Eastern touch line to make it a dozen to blot for the purple meany with the right foot good looking strike raises the flag sideline conversion storm 12 Broncos nil 14 minutes play Q how valuable is that Nick meany being able to turn four into six when you think you now going into the finals and watch up against AKA penrith and clearly will be back but you got one of the greatest kickers you've ever seen they turn four and a six every time can I tell you something Bill yep uh there was talk leading into last week's match that if Ryan papous wasn't injured he was going to take on the kicking Anderson would stay in the side Xavier coach would come in Anderson would go the centers and it would be penous doing the kicking so maybe that's the reason why he's still on the side because he is such a goal kicker and penous of course can't do the kicking as we see a knock on down there by King Josh King's made a mistake just as we'd rat Melbourne so the kickoff went close to the touch line it was a very well-placed kickoff from Tristan sailor and Jerome he did a good job to catch it and not then step over the touch line and I don't know whether the pass was no good or the catch was no good or a combination of both no no that was a bad catch from King he just fluffed that dropped it Palms up anyway knock on mbour here's a chance for the Broncos now we see the other side of the storm side if they're going to go and win this title they've got to be able to defend their mistakes that's what penri do better anyone else they want stay the G down St TR can they defend this now the storm Centerfield scrum 10 out for Brisbane Walters to the right Rogers decides to run at them fire Longo and monster and also bla there to make the tackle 10 to the right right on the goal line the Bronx Walters to left in center field one out as Jensen who was pretty flat footed as he gathered that that was the straightener but without any momentum and he's easily taken six more a bit of a hold down from the storm Reynolds pops it up for Baker running back towards the eight pole stopped now left hand side of the the uprights a couple of meters out for the Bronx who trial 12 n and the Lang Park fans get into it carrian to the right for Reynolds given a sailor Grabber earli in the St straight to F Longo gathers it on the goal line and Reynolds tackles him 10 m out why is Sailor kicking on play three and anyway Melbourne's got it so that Billy defies logic yeah I didn't know what to say uh how it's almost tackled over the Western touch line does well to keep it in with the pass to blor on his own team and now coat with the centering run tackled 15 from his own line okay to kick on tackle three if the fullbacks not home but he kicks straight to the fullback who was sitting there waiting to pick the ball up can I defend him slightly we've seen ree Walsh do that a number of times this year I wonder if it's a set play which just keeps going wrong yeah Tristan's not Reese Walsh right side shift W Brick's over halfway 40 to go 30 to go sailor tries to tackle him pass infield taken by meanie given a Hughes storm have got another oh wow right side shift and again will wck is making the Broncos left side defense looks silly good cover defensing tackle from Sailor but the support was there one man infield meany catch and give to Hughes Hughes finishes a 90 M try for Melbourne and they lead 16 nil with a kick to come the other key here from EQ is what are the Broncos is going to do to that left hand side I've seen them a couple times this year they don't Rectify errors or mistakes and faults on the field you've just called it they are bleeding points down their left hand side as Wayne B said if you keep doing the same things you get the same results let's see what the Broncos do now to rectify the fact that they're being outclassed on the defensive left hand side and will wrick is a very very good player at the moment he's just going to get better and better a big stronger and faster but you've got to be able to overcome that somehow what are you going to do well one thing we know is Will wri can can score tries but he can also set them up as well and Jerome Hughes that's his seventh try can I ask you this question is he going to be the delam Medalist this year he's been absolutely outstanding for the Melbourne storm uh just a a a Pure Pro who even won a game against the Titans with a with a um uh C that's how good he is jeez I don't know I think he's going to go very close and the storm they on fire mean he's had a CER from here same spot as the previous conversion hard out on the right 25 M out basically on the easn touch line right foot strike looks pretty good once more but this time near side and his first Miss of the night so the score remains Melbourne's 16 Brisbane nil we've played 18 minutes at The Cauldron your messages continue to be welcome on 0 467 9202 please send us your name um there's one here quoting me Q in verto commers it's only early days and of LOL # fright night it is pretty frightening if you're a Broncos fan at the moment to answer but it is only early days Z's question I believe used is a certainty and I also challenge you en this is this the largest Thursday night crowd of the Season uh and I wonder how long until it start to leave Kings CAU that one by the way and runs over the 10 and Melbourne 13 out from their own line from the restart Quenton Hall Billy Moore and Zan Bojack bringing you the opening game of round 27 Live From The Cauldron on ABC Sport after the 20 goes kowa now ASA for solomona just short of the 30 when tackle we play the ball to Grant runs out of dummy half right side play of the rut given a file long go into the tackle though of Jensen and also hunt they make the play Jaden hunt there at marker now learo runs back towards marker hunt there makes first Contact needs help from Jensen to stop him and Leo walks to half way before being ordered to play the football last play right hand side again but not through the hands this one's a kick from Hughes High ball sailor defensive left side catches it 10 in 10 from his line in the defensive left corner meets three Defenders and gets pushed back 5 m so the Broncos will start this set deep on their own line I'm not quite sure as to how many will be here tonight but can you believe Billy that the Broncos average home crowd this year it's their second biggest all time so across the year they've averaged more than 40,000 their best ever year was 1993 when they averag more than 43,000 so there you go off the back of that Grand Final last year the fans have coming droves this season as carrian takes Brisbane to within 15 of halfway last play coming up in this set 160 to score line to Melbourne from inside the 40 Kicks Down field again F Longo traps it with his leg passes to coach who was wrapping in field coach runs laterally across the 20 again he wants to get it to that right side takes on Cobo Cobo this time makes the tackle they just willing to they have seen the weakness why do anything different just keep going Adam Bill five from halfway the storm on the infield run there from meany now back to Centerfield Alec McDonald's out on the field from Melbourne he's taken 45 M out 6 n the score line Grant out of dummy half passes to Hughes bust them through the rack up the fullback aort on his right give it a fire long go great tackle sailor one-onone fullback on fullback puts him down 10 m out Melbourne coming to get him again though Hughes to the left givs a monster grubber in behind the line Sailors there on the goal line tackled by blore and tackled in the in goal area goal line Dropout coming up it's like watching poetry in rugby league I love watching this storm of you've heard me talk about the way they're constantly testing the Integrity of the line who's lazy who's out of position who hasn't done what they're supposed to do it it's just brilliant to watch as I said they're at the height of their powers here tonight uh and you're right that right hand attacking side of the storm but they want to get the ball there every time to see what the Broncos are going to do Reynolds the restart is knocked on by Arthurs it was a high ball to the 20 and Arthur's knocked it on storm pick it up and throw it in field ref says play on only the knock on brisban Melbourne's ball you can play it and pass goes to King in center field so he's tackled 25 out 18 and a half to the break Melbourne leading by 16 points to nil Grant one man to the right for McDonald Alec McDonald into the defense it doesn't out from the kton street in goal slightly right hand side Grant passes left through Hughes to monster to blor defense was in his face so he can't give the offload and he gets tackled 15 in from the left and 10 m out Shawn blor in his first year at the storm place it there to Grant Pass to moner to Hughes man he motion to the right hitting it hard learo takes a couple into the in goal area and I think he's granted the football and I don't think it's learo at my apologies it's katawa Ellie katawa and indeed that is another Melbourne try again just the shift to the right Edge and Kwa hits the ball at PACE and Melbourne lead the game 20 points to nil with a kick to to come so breaking that down what it was it was three passes across and they realized that the Broncos CD Defender were not talking weren't reading and Kwa who is a great Line Runner has just punched a hole straight through what shouldn't have been a gap but it was between Jaden hunt and the 58 Rogers and just poor defense poor communic no slide no talking everywhere you look Zone they've got threats because they all do their job they know what they've got to do and they all run the correct lines at the right time and that's how smart their coaching is all week uh Craig balam would have said look Jaden Hunt's only played five games this year uh we've got Josh Rogers who's only playing his eighth game they haven't defended much together continually um go at them and of course with the for the Kau has been in this year 12th try of the season for his career he's been amazing since he's joined the Melbourne storm can I tell you something else they switched Cory oats over into the right side wing and they put Jessy Arthurs over on the left side still hasn't stopped the uh the absolute Avalanche I really worry about what the score line could be tonight at at least they've done something they've done something to try and stem the the bleeding but uh you're right Z know it's um it's going to be tough wherever you uh you look there is threats me's conversion attempt slightly right hand side and this for 22 to nil and basically scoring at a point a minute just just underneath the point of minute if he knocks this over try score 22 minutes in then we about a minute or so before he takes this kick and he whacks it over comfortably with his right boot Mooney with three from four storm 22 Broncos nil you're hearing it on ABC Sport meanwhile early stages of the World Cup qualifier no score between Australia and Bahrain and in the AFL second term about to begin Jal long lead Port by three points the cats 3725 to put adeles 3422 they haven't mounted a challenge down the storm's end of the field because they just make so many meters every carry Q they just they're marching 60 70 M the Bronx have to bring it off their Tri line we haven't seen really any attempt of the Bronx to try and register some defensive restart taken by monster give it to McDonald Alec McDonald bumps off one before being tackled 15 from his own line uh Marie who's a queenslander texts sorry Lads I'll be turning off the radio shortly this is painful text Marie a queenslander well what about Harry Granton cam moner there's a few coin Landers out there Hughes to the right for wreck again Almost Got Away Cobo there to make the now that was meany that time meany was there didn't give the pass to wri tackled on halfway pass back to Center field for Grant who is a queenslander tackle 45 M out he'll play the ball to King in the middle of the park passes left for Monster queenslander runs up towards the 40 and straightens I'm just trying to give Maria a reason to keep listening um there you go Marie 046 7920 tri2 35 out the storm pass to the right for Hughes he puts in a bomb at the end of the set sailor will leap and miss it it's taken oh batted backwards by CA to the wing no one was there so sailor cleans it up weaves infield past a tackle or two before being tackled just before the 30 so sailor does clean it up eventually and there's a hold down there from the storm penalty goes to Brisbane on their own 30 I don't think the storm could believe they actually had the free uh free chance to tap the ball back our mat's tuning in by the way no doubt for well he always Tunes in but corot's last game as well Chris old mate good to hear from he goes listening in this game is killing me bring on 2025 yeah Chris well Chris I reckon you're one of many Broncos fans feeling that way what did I say on it's it's it's still early it is early and the good thing is the Broncos have the ball inside the storm half off the penalty they kick downfield and hetherington's on a straightening run and his tackle 32 M out slightly right Edge 22 near the score line four tries to nothing to mbour Walters passes left and Centerfield carrian at the line gives it left for Rogers second man to sail up brilliantly read by mean right in his to make the tackle and sailor will play it on his own 30 play to walers Blindside given to Rogers has a run at them but katawa is there with mey to make the tackle Brisbane 15 out 15 in from the left Walter sweeps it right in center field carrian second man Reynolds double cut out to the edge from Mariner takes on gets past Howard draged down by monster Tri saer 5 m out played to O swung infield for Reynolds this is the last Grover back in behind the line fielded by oats who gets into the field of play that was brilliantly done near the touch Line near the goal line dives into the field of play as Hoth runs up to the 10 and he's tackled that's one thing that how's having a bit of a time in defense for the storm he's struggling uh Marin is doing his bit one of the few players that I said had improve for the Broncos this year as the storm are up to the 30 exactly right q that that's the side they got to go to the Broncos right side Mara up against howth they do have an advantage there and good luck here you've got oats up against coats I go with you my friend looking forward to that oh Grant with a dummy half scoot hits Hughes at PACE runs to the 20 ders for the right side just beats meany and Warrick over the touch line that was down the middle of the park split them open as if it was a surgeon with a scalpel there the dummy har Scoop from Grant with Hugh running the guts line oh and if not for that kick just being slightly over cook that was another Milbourne four-pointer great run there by Hughes Grant opens him up unfortunately the kick was a little bit too heavy but what great vision from Hughes as soon as he got in the back field he knew he couldn't have enough Pace how can I kick it to the right guy nearly got it there we couldn't we couldn't sell Marie to stick around she G she texts fellas This Is Not An Origin game crying Emoji Marie still a queenslander see you tomorrow I think she's done I think we've lost one 22 Melbourne over brisban Quenton H Billy Moore and Zane Bojack 12 and a half to go left hand side Rogers to sailor as the Broncos go up towards halfway doesn't like it passes back infield to heatherington he's flat fored and McDonald and Grant are there to make the tackle Kobe heatherington plays the ball for the Broncos walers joints out a dummy half no marker there that was a bit loose passes to Rogers Hughes makes the tackle with meany Rogers cut down 35 M out walers now distributes Blindside for Cobo Outside Inside play for um hunt but Hunt is tackled on the last by Guess Who Jerome Hughes doing it everywhere hand over on the last what a great player Hughes is he's in the game attack defense he's a threat everywhere he's just high quality and you know what I'm sad that Marie's left this Cube because I'm just looking over my left shoulder and Billy Slater sitting near me and he said he's Billy Slater he's a queenslander from Queensland um coach has got the ball he's oh breaks a tackle ran through m and Reynolds up to the fullback beat sailor only only for Ricky to come from behind to put him down 30 out what a run from coach plate to Grant given a monster given right for Hughes Grabber early on oh they are lining up which number at the deli a SM it bounced up in front of him and went through his fingers and it's run dead by the Broncos oh what a shame for the storm that was a beautiful play coach tore him apart and he shouldn't have he run straight through Mara and the captain Reynolds and off the back of that the next play was a beautiful kick by Hughes should have been a try it was all but there was two Broncos so there's two storm players over the TR line they should have grounded but didn't absolutely liveed and they better watch the out of the storm because they might be leading 22-0 but they could cop a spray at halim they've just gone loose everyone can cop a bad bounce but yeah it it was a pretty bad bounce it was vicious yeah um and I don't think well Bak can get angry about most things he can get angry about that anyway up to halfway go the Broncos Marty tal and what will most likely be the farewell appearance for him for brisman at this venue tackled 35 out play to Mosa left through carrian now to Rogers infield trying to run through the tackle is Ricky but he's brought down or is that Baker no it was it was Baker tackled on the 30 on the left Edge back to the right through carrian to Reynolds to sailor all this laterally across the 30 and and M of easy pickings makes the tackle on Sailor One onone brisban 27 M out trailing 22 now carrian receives the pop ball from Reynolds on a straightening run and gets an offload away late on the 20 gathered off the hop by mosa he throws it on the deck bounces kindly for Baker over the 20 into the tackle of Hughes who makes the tackle 12 M out out on the left brisan looking to get on the board here back to Centerfield Reynolds passes to too once back to The Blind Side t contact offers up and offload heatherington gathers it he's tackled though that's five 8 m out mosa through top b a runaround then a little shift onto Rogers who scores Rogers has scored for brisbon on a nice little creative work from Blake mosa left side of the rut and brisban finally get on the board 22 points to four kick to come as Zano alluded to they better be care careful cuz what they did is they didn't keep the putting the sword into the Broncos they finally got some quality field position but in the end the money play was by the hook the reserve hooker Blake m a great play F to go of the open going back to this short side received the ball on a wraparound play and put a lovely little short ball for Rogers who is just too big too strong well done by the Broncos especially Blake M down the shorts Marty toow receives it flicks it back out the back the old ra around and and Rogers good hole running good work by the brisban Broncos he probably didn't think he was going to get eight games this year but he has particularly with Ezra m going off for surgery three tries this year as well Josh Rogers um part of their victory over param down in Sydney when he kicked five from five but yes uh you wonder how many more games he's going to play in the future but well he's he's one of those development contract guys still isn't he Z so played a lot of Q cup yeah interesting to see what they do with him Reynolds are out on the left converts the try and some joy for Broncos fans late in this first half they they crawl back one try four tries to one 22 points to six the score line for Melbourne over brisban you hearing it on ABC Sport you know what bill that's the thing though Melbourne have conceded six hit of the Broncos if they're playing against pen if they're playing against the roosters and probably the sharies too you can't let that get out of that grind and they've just let themselves drop a little and that's given the Broncos a chance yeah without a doubt they should have scored two more tries and obviously the last one with that vicious bounds mean he should have scored it but didn't but you're right they didn't defend that mistake um so you you asked about whether belly was going to blow up at half time guarantee Bell a will go he will peel the paint off the wall re start to the goal line caught by Marin given to carrian Brisbane run it back off the kickoff carrian a dozen out from the goal line he's defending at the kton street end 10 in from the Eastern touch lines 22 points to six Melbourne over Brisbane if you are just unaware of the circumstances Melbourne will finish on top no matter what the result tonight they will host a qualifying final next weekend Brisbane season is done after this evening top ball to the 30 pass to the right carrian gives it to Reynolds showing give to sailor they shift it to the right Edge for Ricky runs infield Branch there to make the tackle along with bla played a dozen brisban side of halfway mosa gives it on to heatherington aggressive run aggressive tackle made by McDonald and blor on halfway mosa passes right and blind at the end they all look to to score some points in this next six minutes before halim kick finds touch five inside Melbourne territory out on the western side couple of sets of hands to Tui kamaka he's tackled near the middle of the park played to Grant given on to wishart and he's tackled so wishart's played in so many roles this year he he's been such a valuable player for Craig Bellamy to the right grant through moner to Hughes inside angle there for katawa is it stepping through tackers yep he's brought down on the 30 Ellie katawa played to Grant Pass to the right's a bit messy as forward in fact that is well Bello's getting some reasons to get angry now that is a bad pass out of dami half from Harry Grant who should know better and that has diffused the looming pressure so 5 minutes and 20 seconds left in the first half scrum feed for brisbon 25 from Their Own Line Melbourne lead by 22 points to six he skipped out of dummy half Harry Grant tries to obviously bring the marker into him so he can't make the tackle on the the ball Runner but unfortunately Carri the ball for a little bit too long and the defender knocked his arm and you're right was a bad pass and that will just fuel the fire for Craig B mid half timee Tony from bingara asks love the call guys can you please explain how Melbourne can play 10 different players week to week I thought we have a salary cap why can't the other teams have the same backup well those 10 players get paid bugger all yeah and they and they're they're in the squad and they're fit I mean part of the reason that they can play is that they're available you can choose whoever you want is on your contract list yeah 100% and those players that come in they fit into a system where everybody knows their job they got three kpis per game every player and they all do those three kpis first and it works I hope that answers your question Tony Z 4 67 920 triple2 Pingping for Brisbane here so they'll get a fresh set and they're on attack heatherington tackled 35 M out mza goes for a joint out of dummy half gives it to too he on to carrian me in the tackle of Kwa and Pat carrian will play the football Centerfield and 25 M out six again they held on to longawa heatherington on a straightener taken 15 M out Brisbane looking for back-to-back tries here mosa passes left Rogers has a run at them runs in field McDonald's there to make the tackle as the PA tries to whip up the crowd here playay 10 out mosa passes right Carri and Pops it up for Topo brought down five M out five to the right of the upright played to Mosa out of dummy hary has a scoop and he stopped the meter from the goal line mosa plays the ball to too swings it right for Reynolds pass to the edge for sailor dummies goes himself but wishart's there to make the tackle and put him down it was moner should I say far from the goal line Play De Mariner into the set pass infield for Reynolds chips towards the h p it's into the in goal area caught on the four by Melbourne mean he's grabbed it he'll race out to the 20 for the seven tackle Set n already goes right hop to halfway he goes Hughes gives the pass wall Brick's over halfway up to the 30 up to the 20 drag down just from behind by the cover defensive Cobo off the 20 M restart melbour now on the attack at the other end monsters sh it dummying dummying pops it up for fire Longo tries to put the shimmy in Shake on Reynolds who's not buying and making the tackle get back on side at your peril the Broncos they needed to do that quicker and the storm have exposed them now Alec McDonald buffeting off tackles TP ball comes again to stop him 17 on 17 McDonald plays it 10 m out Grant dummies goes himself and blitzes through tissue thin defense to score the fifth Melbourne try of the opening half half show and go and he was gone before you could get a handle on him 26-6 what a Counterattack from Melbourne yeah that's typical Melbourne they play everything to the plan and quickly mean he saw that they diffuse the situation let me test the Integrity of the Broncos they caught napping they've going in the other end of the field and Z I think I've just seen something you don't see very often here is a hooker who has actually scored a try and I don't think he's touched he's just run through the Broncos he's ducked under carrigan's tackle I don't think he's been touched I'm giving carrian a finger up yeah got a finger but that does that personify your defense and I say that that's a winner in defense is a window into a culture of a club they couldn't defend that and you just the alarm Bells should be ringing because something's not right inside the Broncos where they're not working together talking together inside Sly is not there and there a hooker who's one of the best hookers in the game but he's just wed over and put underneath the sticks yeah they've been defensively inep to KN Broncos um and it's nine line breaks to one so far this season Harry Grant he's looking for a big final series had probably his poorest origin Series this year and of course he wants to try and hang on to that kangaroos number nine jersey I've got it in the book for four from five from me he's 10 MERS out directly in front no need for the wi out flags are raised Milbourne 28 Brisbane 6 on the SMS uh good Justin from mton I'm really hoping that the storm in the shield this year G St thank you 0467 920 triple2 uh Ben from Bea texts when you're losing that's when you need your fans when you're winning you don't need nothing Broncos forever says Ben thank you um here's one from Romaine who text listening at the game Broncos bloodbath and she sent me a tear Emoji as well or Romain has 0467 9202 and here's a here's a message from a couple of minutes ago Dave from rangris texted the Broncos have stemmed the bleeding uh mind you brison's found touch off the restart that's a good one it was a weird kick from almost wend sa from TR W yeah W son um he kicked the belly of the ball and it really floated they didn't get it on the full and then it just ran along the ground so um they've done well to get the ball back I don't know how many tackles I get the Broncos as soon as hit the ground you're right d just just to off like a rabbit and now they probably going to have one one tackle I re one shot 15 seconds it's 22 on the fly on the restart but caught by sailor relatively unchallenged 6 5 four six again doesn't matter there's only time for one play Reynolds to the left through Rogers to Cobo tries to Palm away from me runs infield and backwards shows it running further backwards gives the problem to Mosa MOS it to the right gives it through Ricky to Marin marinina grubers for the in goal area purple everywhere fielded by coats end of half no further score Melbourne 28 lead Brisbane six wrick with two tries Hughes Cowa and Grant the others minia has kicked four from five the only try for the Broncos to Josh Rogers 9 minutes from the break so 10 minutes 14 minutes 17 minutes 22 minutes now were the first four tries for 22 nil at a point of minut from Melbourne and then Rogers scoring the try nine from halim only for Grant to go over a short time ago in the shadows of half time what more have you got to add to 28-6 for Melbourne Billy well it's been a phenomenal first half even but even the great Melbourne side in the last 15 lacked a little bit of polish made a few errors bombed a few tries and the Bronx scored one but when you look at the numbers Q some interesting things you're seeing here the Broncos are still completely at 94% to 80 so they're doing the little things as best they can but they're just being outclass by a team that's bigger stronger faster they've run 40% further with the ball the storan and for me the worrying sign is they're flimsy and frail defense their inability to to negate the storm throughout them the inside slides pull the communications poor and we saw wbri absolutely toing up corio he's going to the other side um so let's see what coach Kevin walers does at half time what he says but right now I'll be to see whether bamy sees that as a pass market and not a blow up and you know what I reckon it's still so evident from the way Melbourne go about things if you find something that's working stick with it yep so they just peppered that defensive left side of Brisbane early on why do anything fancy okay well it worked once yeah it worked second time work the way that they have footballing IQ in the sense of the L kiss method keep it simple stupid when you see something works keep going there until something changes and they just Pummel Brisbane to a point where they now have control of the game because of it you're right and and for the Broncos now they got to play risky catch up football which you know won't work because the storm's defense is so good 28-6 mbour over Brisbane at halftime no scores yet in the football between Australia and Bahrain in the AFL to Long lead Port by 10 points getting to the back end of the second quarter 6945 to the cats the power 5535 keep your Miss is coming on 0467 n 2 but as has been the case over the last week or so we get to this point of the evening and before we get to the ABC

and blitzes through tissue thin defense to score the fifth Melbourne try of the opening half show and go and he was gone before you could get a handle on him ABC Sport on your radio ABC Sport Digital radio and on the ABC listen app Melbourne leite Brisbane 28 points to six it's halim the one thing that the Broncos have done better than anyone else this year is the halftime entertainment more from Billy Moore in just a moment but birds of Toyo are downstairs at the moment we got fireworks and lasers it's like it's a Finals game except the locals are getting carved up anyway here's a bit of birds of Tokyo before we get into the rest of the uh the lead into the second half such first class stuff for a club game and was just saying before that uh this is the second best attended Brisbane Broncos season in history behind the 1993 season where they averaged 43,000 a game they're averaging more than 40,000 a game this year and this this venue and we've had we had wolf mother one night who else do we have trying to remember them but no wonder people turn up and it's I think it it adds to the storyline of why there's such pressure on the football team because everything else about this place Flex is big and powerful except for their team on the field at the back end of this season Melbourne leading 28-6 at halim is now the stages getting moved away and birds of Tokyo have done their their two numbers yeah you're right oh jet was another one jet just sent me a text they uh they advertise the biggest show in town and that's what it is it's it's huge the Broncos do sell but last weekend little brother got him was the little brother's home game in the in the form of the Dolphins they had 50,000 here which was great to see so obviously they' got a cross town rival who are serious and they're obviously on the verge of hopefully making their first semi-final campaign look at the numbers AQ the average distance covered per set of six to me this is stting I've never seen the Gap like it the Bros are going on 38 me every set of six not bad the storm are doing 55 M so that basically means every time they get the ball if they get on the 20 M line they're ending down inside the 30 m of the of the Broncos and of the field and putting pressure on them so it's constant pressure that's what the storm do they squeeze you constantly and as I often say they ask questions all across the park defensively your integrity are you you're lazy are you communicating are you working hard individually and as a unit and that's what's really shown here that the Broncos are not being outclassed by a storm site which in the last 15 come off the boil a bit I'll be see what Z finds out whether bellam is ripped into a side when you think you're leading what 28-6 if you got a ripping off your coach J it's pretty hard marking isn't it well I'm just wondering what marking parameters you will use in the second half for Melbourne I I don't want to kill the contest yet but it's 28 to6 at halim it's five tries to one one team's going to finish on top the other's not going to make the finals so the motivation levels are very different although we expect Brisbane to be out for it after getting thumped last week maybe they're just not good enough CR this one then what marking do you use how many tries do you think the Panthers are going to allow you to score well if you score yeah not not many no not many so to me the most important he not the 28 it's going to be the six yeah that's how big is that six going to blow out because that was a soft one as well that the Broncos scored a little bit of a oldfashioned wraparound and a 5/8 crashing over from close to the line yep wasn't like it was a buling forward that got through so if we get to the pointy end of the wedge and it's a storm the uh Panthers Grand Final I don't think you're going to be able to score four tries against the pendra side that really muscles up and gives you nothing I know the Bronx did that last year and they end up getting run down though you know who I'm going to put the asset on because I reckon they haven't been as good this year and they won't beat pen they won't win the comp unless they find their better football there are two guys that the storm need to have a really good four and a half weeks Harry Grant and Cameron monster I reckon everyone else is doing their job yep I reckon everyone else is doing their job is that fair enough I mean has been injured Grant hasn't been as good this year but I mean you look at the pack they just keep doing their job Nelson and King and blar leero kamaka they got Welsh to come in so I still think that the the forward pack was perhaps a little question for me as to whether or not they were going to be good enough at the back end of the season I think I think they're not least Square I think that I don't think the stormm pack can belt you the way that the roosters or the Sharks could or that the Panthers could but I reckon they Square it the thing is with the so where where's the difference it's got to be where's the Rhythm and Synergy from Monster who's been injured this year and Grant who hasn't been at his best yeah that that that spine is world class if it's fully functioning and very hard to defend against I have seen tonight uh Jackal has been a very very improved player but he does look a touch slow defensively which you know been fan out a couple of times sides will definitely Target that and the thing is they've got others that could they could put into that position anyway moner kicks off let's play this second half in brisban to see if the Broncos have got something in the last 40 minutes of their season that will stop their fans from gritting their teeth and slinking further into their chairs after the embarrassment of last week carrian First Carry tpel carry two Brisbane Midway goal line and halfway they're now running away from the southern end Marty stepped off the Mark if you've got a thought 0 4 67 9920 triple two one man to the left of the r goes heatherington 15 from halfway when taken now carrian runs into the line K is there to make the tackle along with McDonald Pat carrian to play at 9 M from halfway mosa passes right for sailor who's running into the line the fullback in the main street where the big forwards usually trudge he's stopped right on Halfway by Wishard end of the set Reynolds puts up a high shallow bomb it's going to bounce backwards and kindly for fire Longo who gathers at the Melbourne fullback on his own 20 and he is tackled Zan Bojack he's got Whispers And oh almost a knock on there sorry Z just held on to by how down to you on the touchline Craig bamy has said he wants a more consistent and discipline performance in the second half just thought they got a little bit loose and they didn't concentrate enough and he wants that improve going into finals um they're all fine as for the Broncos Fletcher baker has got a bit of a problem with his knee he had that strapped up but he'll be able to play Kevin walers has appealed to his side to have pride in the jersey and he's also said to talk to each other and communicate and don't panic out there taken up to halfway for the storm by kamaka he's near the NRL logo as he plays a grant blinds side to Hughes end of the set a high deep kick from about 45 out caught by sailor on his own 10 he's got a line of defenders in front of him runs right gives the problem to oats who's got nowhere to go and he's tackled Billy's one of our regular textas he's a taxi driver in br brisman go good to hear from you Billy he goes I'm heading to the rank at Lang Park early I feel folk will be leaving quite soon thanks Billy 0467 920 Triple Two brisban with the ball 15 from halfway play there by Ricky to Moosa pass left in Centerfield through carrian to Rogers to Cobo tries to take on meany gets through him but meany comes again after Hughes had done enough to slow the Run of Sil and Cobo Cobo to played eight inside his own half eight in from the Western touchline right just passes infield the topall runs through McDonald and Hughes gets an offload away mosa Taps it onto heatherington hetherington's drag down about 42 out by The Tackle of bla last play Brisbane they run it to the right Reynolds will now kick a high ball which will come down offensive left side comfortably caught by coats and the ex Bronco is tackled a couple of meters from the line he's defending for long go pinches left Blind Side and 10 m out of dummy half he's dangerous every time he gets the ball it seems yeah he's electric if this is Marty tpo's last game for the Bronx or in R League he has had some wonderful touches tonight it was a beautiful pass to set up Rogers try and that one there getting that play to finish off the set for the Bronx beautiful de Hands by the big front rower I think the dice cast with Marty isn't it Z he's uh oh there's a few of them Kobe heatherington possibly playing his last game he's been looking other options cuz uh he's been one of the recalcitrant members of the Broncos side that the coaching team aren't listening to uh Grant with a kick from his own 30 down to sailor taken a dozen from the southern Ino the Brisbane fullback runs it back over the 20 and meets the defense and there is tackle no change to the halftime score we've played four minutes of the second period Melbourne lead by 28 points to six you're hearing it on ABC Sport um by the way someone was saying uh birds of Tokyo how how is a band like birds of Tokyo not the Grand Final entertainment shame NRL says Ella from Melbourne who's obviously not a kid looy fan with that announcement coming through the last day or so heatherington up the halfway will play the ball to Mosa Mosa passes right carrian at the line given a TP dragged to ground by Wishard and monster this is looking better from Brisbane Marty keeps going he plays it only 27 out play to Mosa given to carrian runs out the line bounces off gr but not away from wishart and McDonald and monster they come to complete the tackle last play Brisbane center field 18 out MOS it to the left gives it on to Rogers Graber for the in goal it's seen dead by wri who Fields it and runs it over the white wash at the Kon Street endend of the park goal line Dropout coming up for Melbourne I think he could let that go wbri that was flying off the boot of Rogers it uh was quite the Shing go and he put it on the toe and just skipped away quickly yeah he could let that roll over the dead ball line so now this gives the Broncos another set of six bearing down on the Storm can they repel them what's the option here it's the short restart high and it's not executed well from Jerome Hughes doesn't carry the 10 m 12 months ago cost the Broncos two points in the grand fall for that yeah went over the touch line though so without being touched so Brisbane have a rumble TPO gets an offload away out the back oh watch out K is St in it and breaks a tackle Ellie's on the Rampage to halfway before sailor gets on his back and drags him down that was a offload intended for Hetherington the bounce was evil for him went straight to catar and now Melbourne off that runner on the attack grants running right linking up with meany over the 40 up to the 30 runs infield gives it back to grant grant to the 20 ankle tapped and brought down only 15 M out storm on the counter attack now at the southern end of the park to the left through Hughes gives it on to moner here cometh the moment for kamaka to he's tackled Centerfield and 20 M out will play the ball to Grant given to Wishard running at them Tyron Wishard taken a dozen out in center field quick to his feet to play the ball he's pushed off to play the ball R says that's okay you got a tot to it Grant picks up gives to Hughes and a
