The Storm have officially overtaken the Panthers at the top of the NRL ladder after taking down the Warriors 42-16 at Central Coast Stadium on Sunday afternoon | sarah_keoghan SMHsport
It was Melbourne’s 11th straight win and despite coming relatively easy in perfect conditions in Terrigal, the game wasn’t without its drama with Cameron Munster in hot water once again.
With Munster, Felise Kaufusi and Josh Addo-Carr also backing up from Origin I, the Storm were initially slow to start, with the scores level 2-2 until the 22nd minute. Also backing up from Origin I, Grant made a run and set up the Storm’s first try within 30 seconds of getting on the paddock. Six more tries followed for the Storm before the final buzzer.Things only went from bad to worse for the Warriors when Wayde Egan and Chanel Harris-Tavita were both injured within a minute of each other right before the half-time break. Harris-Tavita’s injury was later confirmed as a torn pectoral, which will likely end his 2021 season.
The send-off was made more confusing with the match review committee only deeming the charge serious enough for a fine, which was handed down on Sunday.Back in Sydney, there was some confusion at the Tigers when their new recruit Ken Maumalo not only ran out at Central Coast Stadium – but scored a hat-trick for the Warriors, their only tries of the day.
