Walsh Stars, Hughes Hurt as Broncos Book Spot in Top Four
Brisbane Broncos clinch a top-four finals position with a strong win; Melbourne Storm suffer key injuries and disciplinary setbacks, including star half Jahrome Hughes' suspected broken wrist.
- 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.
