The Melbourne Storm are set to face off against the Brisbane Broncos in Round 23, the Indigenous Round, of the 2025 National Rugby League (NRL) at the AAMI Park in Melbourne.
With 14 victories from their first 19 games this season, the Storm have been playing beautifully. Before suffering a shocking setback to the Sea Eagles three weeks ago, they were on a six-game winning streak. They then defeated the Roosters and the Eels to recover. Melbourne is two points behind the leaders, the Raiders, going into Round 23 in second place on the NRL standings.
The Broncos haven't had the most consistent season in 2025. Brisbane has kept their spot in the Top Eight despite their current record of 11 wins and 8 losses. They lead the Roosters, who are currently in ninth place on the standings, by just four points going into Round 23.
