Our best bet for Thursday’s NRL Round 26 clash between the Brisbane Broncos and Melbourne Storm is the Home Team Over 23.5 \/ Away Team Over 26.5 \/ Fa’alogo to Score Same Game Multi at $6.25, with both sides expected to throw the ball around in a dead rubber and Fa’alogo scoring 16 tries this season.<\/p>\n

Round 26 of the NRL kicks off with an unlikely dead rubber, as the Broncos host the Storm in a repeat of the 2025 Grand Final at Suncorp Stadium on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Brisbane Broncos vs Melbourne Storm<\/h2>\n

Few would have expected both sides to be out of finals contention with two games to go, but it’s a clear reflection of how their seasons have gone.<\/p>\n

Brisbane sit 15th with just seven wins from 22 played, having won last week for the first time in five matches.<\/p>\n

Melbourne are marginally better at 11th, but also saw their finals hopes snuffed out when they lost 22-14 to the Panthers last week.<\/p>\n

Leg 1 – Home Team Over 23.5 Points<\/h3>\n

With nothing on the line in this clash, picking a winner is a dangerous game. However, plenty of points can be expected as both sides will look to finish with a flurry and throw the ball around.<\/p>\n

The Broncos’ attack clicked last week, racking up 34 points against the Raiders. Earlier this month, they put 32 points on the Dolphins too.<\/p>\n

With Jesse Arthurs back in the mix this round as well, expect Brisbane to at least crack the 23.5-point mark.<\/p>\n

Leg 2 – Away Team Over 26.5 Points<\/h3>\n

Likewise for the Storm, they’ll be throwing caution to the wind here.<\/p>\n

The visitors get Jahrome Hughes back in a huge boost for their attack, which has already been improving this month.<\/p>\n

Melbourne have scored 26, 22, 42 and 14 in their last four outings, so against the 15th-placed Broncos in a dead rubber, 26+ is very realistic.<\/p>\n

Leg 3 – Sualauvi Fa’alogo to Score<\/h3>\n

One player who’s been in the midst of all Melbourne’s attack is Sualauvi Fa’alogo.<\/p>\n

The Storm fullback has 16 tries for the season, and was on a three-match scoring streak until the Panthers held him out last week.<\/p>\n

Expect him to bounce back here and find his way across the line in a free-flowing game on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Same Game Multi<\/h2>\n

Home Team Over 23.5 \/ Away Team Over 26.5 \/ Fa’alogo to Score = $6.25 <\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n

Value Bet<\/h2>\n

Despite their poor season, the Broncos have beaten Melbourne already this year.<\/p>\n

In fact, Brisbane have won their last three against the Storm, the last two of which have been by a 1-12 margin.<\/p>\n

Coming into this off the back of a win, with zero pressure, against a familiar foe, the Broncos are a dangerous side.<\/p>\n
