The Storm hung tough to claim a memorable win over the Brisbane Broncos who lost skipper Adam Reynolds to a neck injury.
Melbourne Storm needed a dose of luck and all the grit they could muster to overcome the Brisbane Broncos 24-16 at AAMI Park on Thursday night.whether he will end his time as Storm coach or stay on, his young side showed they are gradually discovering the resilience needed to win NRL games although they also rode their luck after a brilliant strip from Ezra Mam and careless ball-handling saw Eliesa Katoa deny himself a certain try in the second half.
A purposeful run from Munster opened the scoring with the Storm five-eighth forcing himself over the line and bouncing off the goalpost before touching down on 11 minutes. Storm centre Reimis Smith was placed on report for a dangerous tackle while Storm forward Nelson Asofa-Solomona was forced off just before half-time after aggravating a rib cartilage problem he picked up last round.
Katoa should have put the Storm ahead on 50 minutes when Hughes broke the line and put him into an open run to the line but he took it too easy and didn’t see Mam sneaking up on his outside with the Broncos playmaker slapping the ball from his grasp as he went over the line, it saved a certain try.
