Broncos vs Storm Round 27 Tips – 05/09/2024

Sep 3, 2024

Brisbane Broncos vs Melbourne Storm NRL Round 27 betting tips. Our expert NRL tipster previews Thursday’s game at Suncorp Stadium.

Melbourne Storm are heading to Brisbane to take on the Broncos on Thursday night at Suncorp Stadium. Craig Bellamy has decided to rest 10 starters, including Harry Grant and Jahrome Hughes, while the Broncos’ season is over after suffering a crushing 40-6 loss to the Dolphins last week.

Anything could happen in this game as Melbourne’s essentially second-grade team fronts up against a Broncos outfit whose morale has been destroyed.

Prediction: Broncos to Win

Throughout the year, the Broncos have shown glimpses of the form that took them to the Grand Final last year. We’re predicting that in their last game this season, they’ll put on one last show for their local fans. With so many starters out for Melbourne and minor premiership already secured, expect them to take it easy this game. Adam Reynolds is the key man for the Broncos; if he can get the attack firing, then Brisbane should win.

Winning Margin – Broncos 1 to 12

Even though the Storm is fielding their second-grade side, we’re predicting a close game. The Broncos will be without star Reece Walsh, which severely limits their attacking prowess, while the Storm showed last week that even their backup players can score 30 points. Expect a back-and-forth match with each team trading tries; the home-ground advantage for Brisbane may prove the difference.
