Walsh Stars, Hughes Hurt as Broncos Book Spot in Top Four

On September 4, 2025, Melbourne Storm halfback Jahrome Hughes suffered a suspected broken wrist in the first half, leaving the field in the 24th minute after a tackle on Brendan Piakura, a major blow for Melbourne.
Reece Walsh lit up the contest early, executing a 40/20 kick and creating tries that helped the Brisbane Broncos seize control from the opening stages against Melbourne Storm.
Walsh opened the scoring and provided key passes, finishing with two tries as Brisbane led 12-4 at half-time and extended their lead en route to a 30-14 win.
Melbourne now await a match review after Nelson Asofa-Solomona was sin-binned and placed on report, while Brisbane Broncos strengthened their claim on a top-four finish with a home match against the Bulldogs next week.
Off-Field matters also featured, with Brisbane Broncos legend Darren Lockyer flying to England Thursday to explore buying a stake in the London Broncos, while Gehamat Shibasaki was stood down after training concerns as the 2025 season closes.
