Reece Walsh Inspires Brisbane Broncos to NRL Premiership Glory over Melbourne Storm

On Sunday, the Brisbane Broncos defeated the Melbourne Storm 26-22 at Accor Stadium, with Reece Walsh starring and claiming the Clive Churchill Medal.
Trailing 22-12 at half-time, Brisbane Broncos twice erased 10-point deficits despite injuries to Adam Reynolds and Ben Hunt .
After the break, Shibasaki's quick try shifted momentum, and Walsh threw the final pass in three tries while stopping a Storm break with less than 30 seconds remaining.
The victory ends a 19-year men's premiership drought and redeems the 2023 grand-final decider; it is Brisbane Broncos' seventh premiership and first with Michael Maguire as coach.
Reece Walsh continued to joke about his earlier toilet video amid celebrations while the Brisbane club statement clarified the new toilet remained unused, and Melbourne Storm lost consecutive grand finals for the first time since 2004.
