THE PREDICTION
This is an important matchup in the race to make the top four as Brisbane Broncos host Melbourne Storm. The Broncos avoided a third straight loss by overcoming Newcastle Knights last week but this is a much tougher task for the hosts. The Storm made a huge statement by nilling reigning premiers Penrith Panthers on the road last week to make it three successive victories with Craig Bellamy’s side now looking back on track. They are also buoyed by the return of halfback Jahrome Hughes and his inclusion could be pivotal for the Storm who can make it 12 consecutive wins against the Broncos.
