Match Summary

Brisbane's losing run against Melbourne Storm finally came to an end, but not before the beleagured Melbournites gave the defending premiers an awful fright. In front of a poor crowd hampered by Melbourne's low position on the ladder and the Brisbane Lions continuing their novelty run at the Gabba, the Broncos bumbled and fumbled their way to trail 12-6 at half time before scintillating tries to Shaun Berrigan and Scott Prince sealed a two point victory that installs them as outright premiership leaders.
