The Broncos are getting inside information on the Storm from a "spy" in the lead-up to Sunday's grand final. Brisbane forward Ben Talty was in the Storm's inner sanctum only a few months ago, spending the pre-season and trials with Craig Bellamy and his men. He narrowly missed the cut for a spot in the Storm's top 30 in February and returned to feeder club Norths Bears in the NSW Cup. But then in June, the Broncos decided to give the 26-year-old his chance. Brisbane coach Michael Maguire left Talty out of his 17-man squad named on Tuesday - but may still have a change of mind before game day. "He's actually spent the past two off-seasons with them so he knows a fair bit about their combinations and approach to games," a Broncos insider told Wide World of Sports. "We'd be silly not to have a chat to him and ask him for any insights in the lead-up to Sunday." Talty has played 10 games for the Broncos since his move north, winning nine. Ironically, his one loss was to the Storm by 22-2 in round 23. Maguire left Talty out of his 17-man squad named on Tuesday - but may still have a change of mind before game day.
