With three teams tied at the top of the ladder and the Top 8 still far from decided, we have an epic penultimate round of NRL action ahead. Brisbane Broncos vs Melbourne Storm 9:50pm Thursday | Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane Brisbane +2.5 ($1.90) The Broncos have once again found themselves mired in controversy with Adam Reynolds denied a Suncorp farewell by coach Michael Maguire, forcing Reynolds to change course and say he ruled himself out. It has seen Reece Walsh caught in the rip. It is clear though that Maguire is still working the Broncos hard to win and they should…

The Top 8 is all but set but the jostling for positions continues with the round opening with the Storm hosting the Panthers in what is a trap game for Penrith while the Rabbitohs-Warriors clash will have a major bearing on the makeup of the finals series.
