Melbourne Storm defeated Cronulla Sharks by 37-10, scoring six tries-to-two in heavy rain at AAMI Park to secure yet another NRL preliminary final berth
Having scored the crucial first try in the second half, Storm skipper Harry Grant arose as Melbourne’s captain of footy. Not just for the, although his minor premiers are now one match away from the grand final, but with a special offering to this AFL-loving city.
If the NRL’s first final on Friday was anything to go by, they will need all the support they can get. The Penrith Panthers, who displayed fearsome form in a 30-10 victory over the Roosters the previous night, are chasing their barely fathomable fourth-straight premiership. The mercury was in the single degrees Celsius, and hail and rain had pelted the city in the hours leading up to the afternoon kick-off. While the weather dried out for the duration of the match, the wind moved in.
When backrower Briton Nikora crossed in the dying seconds they trailed only 14-10. Nikora was proving dangerous on the right edge, and alongside him Sifa Talakai – brought in at the last minute due to an injury to Jesse Ramien – was giving Storm centre Jack Howarth a difficult afternoon.
