A head knock forced Brisbanes Queensland winger Corey Oates off the field but Wayne Bennett might be nursing the biggest headache after the Broncos record 48-6 NRL loss to Melbourne at Suncorp Stadium.Only days out from Queenslands State of Origin III team being named, Oates lasted barely 20 minutes in Friday nights Storm try-scoring blitz which included a Suliasi Vunivalu hat-trick.Centre Cheyse Blair bagged a double as Melbourne inflicted Brisbanes biggest home loss in front of 44,519 fans.Oates came off second best with try-bound centre Ryan Morgan in the 18th minute and was soon escorted from the field in a concern for Queensland selectors.They name their Origin III team on Monday.However, Bennett might have the biggest worry with an injury-hit Brisbane suffering their sixth loss in eight games.Oates joined a Broncos injury list that already boasted Jordan Kahu, Jack Reed, Greg Eden and Tom Opacic.Then there is their defence.Brisbane have conceded 88 points in their past two games.Melbourne halfback Cooper Cronk inspired the Storms 10th win from 11 games in Brisbane, setting up five of their eight tries.Fijian flyer Vunivalu took his league-leading try tally to 16 from just 10 games.Melbourne have won 10 of their past 11 games against Brisbane including six straight at Suncorp.Somehow it could have been worse for Brisbane.Damaging fullback Cameron Munster failed to overcome an ankle complaint but Blake Green returned to pivot after missing three weeks with a calf injury.Melbourne led 30-6 at halftime albeit after a slice of luck.Replays showed Vunivalu appeared offside and impeded Kori Nikorima before pouncing on a Cronk kick in the 22nd minute.Five minutes later, officials missed Marika Koroibetes foot on the sideline in the build-up to Cheyse Blairs try.Brisbanes Kodi Nikorima dislocated his shoulder in the first half but played on as he tried to patch up a reshuffled backline.The diminutive bench utility was slotted first onto the wing and then at fullback but could not stop Melbourne taking full advantage of Oates absence, terrorising Brisbanes left edge.They (Storm) were very good. Thats all I can say but we knew that, Bennett said.We got the injury and they exploited that - there wasnt much we could do to fix it.Bennett played down Origin fears for Oates.Hes conscious now. Hes fine. He will be right in 10 days time or so (for Origin III on July 13), he said.Melbourne coach Craig Bellamy was just as surprised as anyone by the scoreline.I dont think anyone saw that coming. Its a bit surreal, he said.But Brisbane have too many quality players and too good a culture not to bounce back.Bellamy said the prognosis did not look good for forward Jordan McLean (ankle) who lasted 25 minutes on Friday night.He expected Munster to return to action in their next match against Newcastle on July 17 after a bye.

The Hornets overcame three managerial changes to seal their return to the top flight last season and currently sit comfortably in mid-table under Quique Sanchez Flores - their fourth boss in 18 months.Promotion seemed a long way off at the beginning of the 2014/15 campaign after they had finished in a disappointing 13th the season before but Deeney says it was crucial for his career that they secured it. We made the headlines for getting a new manager in every week! Deeney, speaking exclusively to Soccer Saturday ahead of a Saturday Night Football clash with Watford, told Sky Sports.From the players point of view, it didnt affect the dressing room too much. We had a strong mentality, and said to ourselves: This is going to be the year to go up.If we didnt, quite a few would have left - myself included - so we had a real good go and it worked out well.It has been brilliant so far. Everybody thought we were going to go down, with another new manager coming in and all the pundits didnt have us down for a win until December. Weve been upsetting the odds and playing some good stuff. Deeney celebrates THAT goal against Leicester The owners have come and it has worked. It isnt like they have come in and had a trial to see if it works. Theyve done the same at other clubs and thankfully it works here too.There have been a few mistakes along the way, in terms of people coming in and out, but the owners seem to have got it right.The Hornets take on Premier League success story Leicester in front of the Sky Sports cameras - a rematch of that famous 2012/13 play-off semi-final when Deeney grabbed an injury-time winner.Watford were beaten by Crystal Palace at the final hurdle that year, but Deeney admits that neither Leicester nor the Hornets were equipped for promotion back then and believes both benefited from a prolonged spell in the Championship to prepare for the rigours of the top flight. Ed Chamberlin and Jamie Redknapp preview Leicesters SSaturday Night Football clash with Watford If either team would have gone up at that time, we would not have given ourselves a fighting chance in the Premier League, Deeney said.ddddddddddddIt didnt look like it at the time, but it worked out well for both clubs. Leicester had a fantastic season the season after and won the Championship.They then didnt start off well in the Premier League, but in the last 18 months it has become something of a fairy-tale.You have to look at them for inspiration. Robert Huth has been amazing, [NGolo] Kante has been getting all the headlines, but if you look at the rest of the team, then it is pretty much the team that went up. Odion Ighalo and Troy Deeney have formed an impressive partnership at Watford You have to give them credit for that. They didnt come up and say that the Championship players were not good enough, and then went out and signed loads of Premier League players.Many doubted Deeney had the ability to make the step up to the top flight, but the Hornets skipper has formed one of the deadliest strike duos in the division with Odion Ighalo.Ive been here six or seven years now, and I am at the point where I have done all the hard stuff now, when there wasnt enough kit to go around, and now I am making sure I am here to enjoy the riches, Deeney added. Deeney has admitted that if Watford had not been promoted last season, he would have looked to move on The first season is always a feeling out season. Look at Jamie Vardy last year. Ive scored goals and made a few assists too.I am happy with my overall performance, and I am looking to finish the season strongly and do even better next year.Watch the full interview with Troy Deeney on Soccer Saturday from midday on SSNHQ and watch Watford v Leicester live on Sky Sports 1 HD from 5pm.
