Jahrome Hughes delivered a masterful performance as the Melbourne Storm demolished Cronulla-Sutherland 37-10, securing their spot in the grand final. Hughes's brilliance saw him outshine Nathan Cleary and solidify his position as one of the best halfbacks in the game.
Hold up, Nathan. Jahrome Hughes might have something to say about being the best halfback in the game.
The Storm are 80 minutes away from another grand final. And Hughes was excellent as he called the shots and appeared to get better the longer the game went in front of a week-one AAMI Park record crowd of 26,326 fans.How many of them might be tempted to return in future years while Hughes is in the prime of his career.
His kick for Will Warbrick’s second try was outstanding, and the way he pin-balled his way through the Sharks’ defence midway through the second half allowed the Storm to pin their opposition deep in their own end before the inevitable onslaught commenced.Cronulla’s own No.7 Nicho Hynes was always going to struggle to influence the game when Melbourne had about 60 per cent of the possession. Few players polarise fans like Hynes does.
The scoreboard reflected how close the contest was, with Cronulla punished every time they made an error. Points came off Hynes’ failure to find touch, while Cam Munster scored in the opening minutes after Will Kennedy watched the kick-off sail over his head before bouncing over the deadball line.
