Brisbane Broncos 30–6 Melbourne Storm — Elimination Preliminary Final, 1998 NRL Finals Series

Elimination Preliminary Final, 1998 NRL finals series: Brisbane Broncos 30–6 Melbourne Storm, at Sydney Football Stadium, Moore Park, Sydney, NSW on 13 Sep 1998.

Sourcing caveat: The official Rugby League Project box score (obtained directly, rather than via the season-summary extraction used in an earlier research pass) confirms all 6 Brisbane tries: Steve Renouf's brace plus one each to Kevin Campion, Tonie Carroll, Phillip Lee and Darren Lockyer — resolving what had been the largest single-match try-scorer gap in the entire 1998 dataset (previously 4 of 6 tries unconfirmed). The same box score also corrected several lineup numbers from an earlier, less precise pass: Brisbane's Brad Thorn and Gorden Tallis were swapped (Thorn wore 11, Tallis wore 12, not the reverse), and Melbourne's Ben Roarty/Danny Williams/Russell Bawden were reassigned to their actual numbers (8, 9 and 12 respectively, with Richard Swain on the bench at 17 rather than starting at hooker).
