Reece Walsh was in attendance this time, but it still couldn't help the Brisbane Broncos on Thursday night as they suffered a humiliating end to their disastrous NRL season. With their finals hopes extinguished last weekend, the Broncos were put to the sword by the Melbourne Storm in a 50-12 thrashing. Walsh made sure he was in attendance on Thursday night, but he watched on in disappointment as his side's season ended in more embarrassment. The Broncos will finish the season in 12th - their biggest fall in club history after coming second in 2023 and making the grand final. The Broncos conceded more than 600 points this season for just the third time in their history, highlighting the defensive issues Walters will need to address in the off-season. "It's just been a tough year, a disappointing year for everyone involved in the club," the coach said. "I just need some time now to fix the place up. I've got some opinions myself, but I'll keep my emotions in check just at the moment and we'll ... get our review started on Monday." The Storm made 10 line breaks in the first half alone and led 28-6 at the break. Fullback Sua Fa'alogo was on fire before picking up a hamstring injury, while winger Will Warbrick and halfback Jahrome Hughes both scored hat-tricks.
