Match Summary

Long-term injuries to Mark Corvo and Chris Walker, and the first back to back losses since round 10 1999 has typified a disastrous first visit to Colonial Stadium for the Brisbane Broncos. Still to beat Melbourne in Melbourne, the Broncos twice held commanding leads only to surrender it with paltry defence against a Storm side desperate to hang onto a top eight spot. With Walker out for up to six weeks and Corvo gone for the season, the Broncos' injury crisis has all but crippled their premiership defence.
