Overview

  • Melbourne and Brisbane meet at Accor Stadium on Sunday, October 5, with first whistle at 7:30pm AEDT after daylight saving begins in southeastern states.
  • Channel 9 will broadcast the game live with free streaming on 9Now, while Kayo and Foxtel will carry delayed replays later in the evening.
  • Melbourne have adjusted their build‑up after last year’s loss, with captain Harry Grant trimming commitments, Jahrome Hughes and Ryan Papenhuyzen fit, and Nelson Asofa‑Solomona suspended.
  • Brisbane enter with momentum after overturning a 14‑point half‑time deficit against Penrith in the preliminary final and aim to snap a title drought stretching back to 2006.
  • Recent patterns shape expectations: the Storm have won 17 of the past 19 meetings and often start fast, while the Broncos have made multiple second‑half comebacks this season.
