League: Grand final time tonight

Brisbane know nothing less than their best will be enough to beat minor premiers Melbourne in the NRL grand final tonight.

Melbourne have not lost since being beaten by the Warriors six weeks ago and are favourites for the final.

Broncos forward Dane Carlaw is paying the Storm plenty of respect.

Carlaw says the way Melbourne has been going and the confidence they have shown has been awesome and that is why they won the minor premiership.

The Telstra Stadium final kicks off at 10 o'clock (NZT) tonight.
