Reece Walsh delivered a brilliant 22-point performance, including two tries and seven goals, to guide Brisbane to a 30-14 win over Melbourne and secure a crucial top-four finals spot.
The star fullback shrugged off the week’s “Toiletgate” controversy with a match-winning display, while Storm half Jahrome Hughes suffered a suspected season-ending arm fracture just 25 minutes into his return from injury.
Nelson Asofa-Solomona also faces possible suspension after a high tackle on Ben Talty.
The Broncos’ win sets them up for a finals clash with Canberra, while Melbourne’s campaign was dealt a major blow.
