The NRL Round 11 match between the Melbourne Storm and Brisbane Broncos features as Bettingpro.com.au’s best bet for Thursday May 11.

Bet Of The Day May 11 – read on below for our reasoning behind today’s best bet.

Key Points

Storm have won the last 12 meetings between the teams
Broncos haven’t defeated Storm at AAMI Park since 2016
Five of Storm’s last six wins over Broncos have been by 28+ points
Broncos lost 32-6 vs Rabbitohs two weeks ago – their first real test for some time
Broncos playing just their third game outside of Queensland this season

We’re off to the NRL for today’s best bet as the Storm look to continue their recent dominance over competition leaders the Broncos at AAMI Park.

Melbourne have had the wood over Brisbane over the last few years, winning the last 12 meetings between the teams, while the Broncos haven’t beaten the Storm at AAMI Park since 2016.

The Broncos might be top of the table, but they haven’t really come up against the heavyweight teams much so far this season, while this will also be just their third game outside of Queensland.

Brisbane faced arguably the form team of the competition a fortnight ago in the Rabbitohs and were heavily outclassed in a 32-6 defeat. Not long before that, the Broncos lost at home to the Raiders.

In short, I don’t think the Broncos have been all that convincing lately and a road trip to face a team they haven’t beaten in 12 straight encounters is a massive step up.

Melbourne haven’t just been edging out the Broncos either, they’ve been demolishing them, with five of their last six victories over them coming by 28+ points.

It’s true the Storm haven’t been at their best all season, but I think Craig Bellamy circles this contest as a statement match. He’ll demand a response from his troops and and we’ll back them to get the job done, covering a small -2.5 line.
