'Catastrophic night': Legends slam woeful Broncos amid 'harsh reality check' in Storm rout.

They are must win games and when that happens you have to perform. “I am expecting a good reaction from our boys. Well they had a great opportunity to get an indication against the Storm tonight.

It has been a catastrophic night for them. “They played the Tigers a week later who dished them up 32-18. “We can bounce back. “You go back to Round 19 against the Eels, they beat Parramatta 36-14. They played the Roosters who dished them up 34-16. “It is an embarrassing night for the club. They just got it. “In my opinion from where they have fallen from that Parramatta game to where they are now just wreaks to me of them being content or complacent and they thought they were going a hell of a lot better than where they are as a football side.

Harry Grant and Cameron Munster were sublime as the Melbourne Storm thrashed the Brisbane Broncos in Brisbane on Friday night.

Grant was at it again just minutes into the second half, bursting into a gap to extend the lead to 30-6. But the decision to shuffle Grant was the provider again with a grubber kick behind the Broncos’ defence, which was slow to react as Munster sprinted through the pack to grab the ball first and score the try to lead 24-6 at half-time. Another Broncos error led to the Storm attacking the try line again and Olam was caught at the line but threw the ball back towards loan winger David Nofoaluma, who dove over to give his new club an 18-6 lead. Before the game, Grant was pictured in conversation with mentor and Storm legend Cameron Smith and he emulated the long-time Melbourne skipper with a try assist to prop Tui Kamikamica, who powered over for the try and a 12-6 lead after 20 minutes. Hooker Harry Grant was best on field with a try and two try assists against the Broncos but went off late following a knock to his knee, while Munster was again untouchable and forwards Jesse Bromwich and Nelson Asofa-Solomona dominated the physical contest.
