The Brisbane Broncos have snatched a home playoff game and finalised the top eight draw for next week after thrashing the Manly Sea Eagles 48-16 last night.

The Broncos were on fire at Suncorp Stadium, getting things going early through Corey Oates who scored in the opening minutes of the contest.

Oates went on to have a blinder, scoring four tries in the contest as the Broncos overtook the Dragons on the NRL ladder to earn sixth place and the rights to hosting a playoff next week.
