Brisbane and Parramatta scored wins in Friday night's action in the National Rugby League.
Karmichael Hunt put a week of controversy behind him with a brilliant all-round game as Brisbane gained a measure of payback for their heart-breaking 2008 play-off loss to the Melbourne Storm.
The Broncos held out the Storm in a thrilling final quarter-hour to score a 16-14 victory in front of a parochial 36,647-strong crowd at Suncorp Stadium.
Meanwhile the Eels kept South Sydney scoreless in the second half as they won 14-8 in Sydney.
