Roosters, Storm locked in low-scoring battle in the wet

The Storm forced another fumble and Sam Walker blasted it well beyond the sideline. This handed possession to Melbourne in midfield with Harry Grant coming off the bench and providing some organization from open half.

But the Roosters still defend superbly, with Hugo Savala stopping Sua Faalolo down Melbourne’s right wing a couple of times and Sam Walker getting his hand on the ball at the last tackle so it’s another replay set.

And FinallyThe visitors are cracking up. Josh King plays the ball one meter from the try line, Grant looks left then goes himself, passes King’s legs and scores. With Nick Meaney injured, Faalogo transforms.

Storm 6, Roosters 0 after 27 minutes
