That's all she wrote, no siren shenanigans this time around. Saints move up the ladder to 12th.

St. George Illawarra Dragons 24-12

One last attacking chance is a dud for the Storm, it's grubbered short and de Belin picks it up.

St. George Illawarra Dragons 24-12

Storm go right up the park but desperate defence from the hosts stops the attack in it's tracks. The Red V now advance up the ground.

St. George Illawarra Dragons 24-12

Jack de Belin penalised for a lifting tackle. Storm on the attack. They'll have to score here to have any outside chance of snaring a miracle win...

St. George Illawarra Dragons 24-6

Fonua goes off, doesn't look 100%. Storm penalty for the high shot.

St. George Illawarra Dragons 24-6

Mahe Fonua is down after what looks like a high shot from Leeson Ah Mau.

St. George Illawarra Dragons 24-6

Fonua's charged at buy Dugan off an odd cross-field grubbing kick, Dragons have it back six more inside the Storm half!

St. George Illawarra Dragons 20-6

Trent Merrin with a fantastic pickup on the line, almost a cricket slip style effort from the big man!

St. George Illawarra Dragons 20-6

Dugan's finger dislocated in offloading for that last try. Ouch. He's still on the park though, tough stuff.

St. George Illawarra Dragons 20-6

Storm go on the attack but the Dragons are up to the task. Rein scoops up the ball on the last tackle.

St. George Illawarra Dragons 16-6

Official crowd of 10,117 on a freezing Monday night in Wollongong.

St. George Illawarra Dragons 10-6

Errors at both ends, neither side able to properly execute a last tackle play.

St. George Illawarra Dragons 10-6

Gerard Beale penalised for impeding Billy Slater's attempt to take a bomb. Pity for the Dragons as they would have scored...

Ben Creagh in the wars early in the second half, big cut on the head, referee has asked him to change jersey.

St. George Illawarra Dragons 10-6

Second half begins with Dragons getting it first.

St. George Illawarra Dragons 10-6

Injury scare for Josh Dugan, clutching his ankle. Didn't look good initially but he's up and limping. Halftime though now - Dragons up 10-6.

St. George Illawarra Dragons 10-6

Melbourne penalised for an obstruction whilst attacking the Dragons' line. Cameron Smith protests but the ruling is made and the Dragons kick long for touch for one more shot at the line before the break.

St. George Illawarra Dragons 10-6

Lots of long kicking, both sides putting it deep and testing the men at the back. Only notable error a Benji high ball that Slater made go out on the full.

St. George Illawarra Dragons 10-6

NO TRY indeed - Waqa has dropped it in attempting to get it down. Dragons 20m restart

St. George Illawarra Dragons 10-0

Again Melbourne find themselves in attacking territory on the last... we're going up to the VIDEO REFEREE! Waqa is over but the on-field referee isn't confident, he's crossed the arms.

St. George Illawarra Dragons 10-0

Storm push up the park with some good metres but Gerard Beale is safe under the high ball on this occasion. Both sides with some decent general play kicks so far.

St. George Illawarra Dragons 10-0

Storm pushed into touch in the far corner, Dragons 20m restart.

St. George Illawarra Dragons 4-0

Now a penalty for the Dragons... plenty of pressure building here!

LATE MAIL | The team changes are in - just some basic ones for each side, but both are significant - the Storm have Will Chambers available in Jersey 24, replacing Young Tonumaipea on the wing. Bryan Norrie will drop to the bench with Jordan McLean starting at prop. The Dragons lose Dan Hunt from the bench to make way for Trent Merrin's appearance in jersey #25.
