The Storm have shot out to a 12-2 lead over the Broncos, who have lost their star halves to hamstring injuries.

Adam Reynolds and Ezra Mam both suffered hamstring injuries while attempting to chase down Xavier Coates in the 21st minute and will be sent for scans on Friday.

Selwyn Cobbo was successful in taking Coates over the sideline with arguably the tackle of the season after the Storm winger intercepted a pass and ran 95 metres.

But while that was happening there were major dramas unfolding back up the field. Reynolds limped off before Mam followed seconds later with both later ruled out for the remainder of the game.

The double injury blow forced the Broncos into a major reshuffle with Kotoni Staggs and Ben Hunt moving into the halves, Billy Walters to hooker and Jack Gosiewski to centre.

Six minutes later there were fears the Broncos were about to lose another star when Cobbo stayed down after an awkward tackle injured his ankle. While the 23-year-old did return to his feet and play on, it’s clear he was not 100 per cent.

With the Broncos reeling from the chaos the Storm struck with back-to-back tries to go into half-time with a 10-point lead.
