In a heart-stopping rematch of the 2025 Grand Final, the Brisbane Broncos proved they aren’t going anywhere in 2026.

After a disastrous first half where they failed to find any rhythm, the Broncos looked buried at 14-0. However, a brace from Jordan Riki and a powerhouse effort from Kotoni Staggs turned the tide. The final minute was pure chaos - a desperate Melbourne Storm throwing the ball everywhere, only to be met by a wall of Brisbane jerseys.
