They may have pulled off the upset of the season against the Roosters but the Broncos will have to defy the drift with TAB and a horror record at home against the Storm if they’re going to back up last week’s heroics.
Melbourne have had the wood on Brisbane at Suncorp Stadium, winning the past 10 in a row there. They’re $1.08 to extend that run tonight with the Broncos moving from $6.50 out to $7.50.
One TAB punter is hoping for a huge game from Storm big man Nelson Asofa-Solomona, placing a $9,000 bet on the giant Prop scoring one or more tries from off the bench at $4. He has scored three tries in the past fortnight, including a double against the Raiders last week.
