Melbourne are the new NRL ladder leaders while Brisbane's hopes of a top-four finish have suffered a hammer blow with halves Adam Reynolds and Ezra Mam both injured in bizarre circumstances at AAMI Park.
The Storm continued their one-sided record against the Broncos, banking a 22-2 victory but the Thursday night match was evenly poised before both Reynolds and Mam exited in the 21st minute with hamstring injuries.
