FULL TIME - Late consolation tries for the Roosters closes the gap but the Storm take an impressive 30-16 victory.

PENALTY ROOSTERS: Christian Welch penalised for holding the defender so that he can't continue defending

CAPTAINS CHALLENGE: Well it's a weird one because Melbourne challenge and end up conceding a penalty for high contact

SIX AGAIN: The Roosters can't keep it as the Storm kick doesn't get defused at all.

PENALTY STORM: Sandon Smith takes out Cam Munster for no reason because Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii would've taken the catch easily even without the escort

PENALTY STORM: The Roosters go short with the kick-off and it goes about 2m and into touch

SIX MORE: Lindsay Collins gives away six again on last and then is hurt trying to make the tackle on Harry Grant

PENALTY STORM: Trent Loiero stripped of the ball by Suaalii after the bunker gets involved after a captains challenge

THE X X MAN - The touch from Pauga is lost and it goes into the thighs of Xavier Coates and that's how it looks and has been ruled by Grant Atkins

PENALTY ROOSTERS: "Come on mate" even Grant Atkins couldn't believe how blatant that penalty from the Roosters was

Victor Radley is ON REPORT for an elbow on Cam Munster

BUNKER: The Storm go over in the corner but Grant Atkins says NO TRY based on obstruction. One look and Ashley Klein concurs with the live decision.

SET RESTART: The Roosters have given away two in quick succession after having the Storm in an awkward position on last tackle

PENALTY ROOSTERS: Cam Munster just sits on his backside not moving from the ruck and interferes. Harry Grant who was away from the situation seems the most aggrieved by the obvious call from Grant Atkins

Nat Butcher tackled on the last tackle as the last tackle kick didn't really put much pressure on the Roosters

Melbourne lose the ball in their first set of six

GAME ON! Second half is go at the SCG as the Storm defend the Paddington End in the second half

HALF TIME - The Storm hold a 6-4 in a game that is lacking an atmosphere

Not exactly the most creative play ever as the Storm go short side on the last and are met

PENALTY STORM: Nick Meaney goes around Cam Munster who looked like he was trying to lay an egg as he stopped. Play was initially let go but it's called back after Sandon Smith's defensive effort was effected

Luke Keary goes through some soft defence but there's no back-up at all

Brandon Smith has only been on the field for a couple of tackles and has already drawn the ire of Grant Atkins

Melbourne get the ball back but Pauga could've taken the intercept if he had any conviction in taking it

PENALTY STORM: Grant Atkins calls out "BILLY BILLY BILLY" loud enough but Smith doesn't hear and is penalised for being offside

PENALTY ROOSTERS: Daniel Tupou jumping for the ball and Reimis Smith takes him out in the air before he can contest it

Keary kicks across field and there's a few players jumping for the ball but it bounces and Cam Munster cleans it up

Roosters not winning the battle on the ground as the Storm are dominating the rucks

PENALTY ROOSTERS: Will Warbrick penalised for a blatant second effort on Billy Smith's leg to push it into touch after Smith was held

Will Warbrick takes a great catch in the air as he flies up and beats Daniel Tupou

PENALTY STORM: The Roosters slow things down too much and the play breaks down as the Storm get the penalty 45m out from the Roosters line

CHANGEOVER - Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii goes up takes the kick in the air but the juggle from Pauga slows the attack and he's brought down on last tackle

PENALTY STORM: Grant Atkins penalises the Roosters for being offside in the first stoppage of the night

Harry Grant rushes out of the line and puts pressure on the kicker just like he did successfully against the Panthers but this time Sandon Smith gets the kick away

GAME ON! Grant Atkins has control of the contest at the SCG as the Roosters use the ball first
