HARRY GRANT KNOCKS ON...

Dragons throw a dumb offload to put themselves back under pressure

Hughes and Munster don't get on the same page as Munster wanted the ball to be shifted wide but they go for the kick

PENALTY STORM: A great set form the Dragons but concede an unlucky penalty as Ryan Papenhuyzen slips and Su'a collects him high

MOREROA LOSES THE BALL... The Storm had the Dragons under HUGE pressure

Dragons lose the ball on halfway and the Storm will get a big opportunity

Christian Tuipulotu denies Warbrick the catch and the Dragons survive

Hunt kicks back to the middle but Tyrell Sloan knocks it on and it's a Storm PTB 10m out

PENALTY DRAGONS: Zac Lomax jumps and juggles the ball but they get a penalty for Grant Anderson grabbing Lomax. Storm challenge unsuccessfully

Lomax outjumps Grant Anderson gets the ball but the only player backing up was Blake Lawrie who was all alone and not getting to the line after Kyle Flanagan slipped

Melbourne had all the attacking threat going 91m in the set after points but it breaks down for Melbourne

Munster kicks across field for Will Warbrick who jumps and catches it but he's too far from the line to do anything

NO TRY - Zac Lomax on the ball gets the ball on the outside of the Storm defence and kicks ahead and almost gets it down as Cam Munster is trying to shadow it; Melbourne get lucky with a 20m restart

PENALTY DRAGONS: Tyrell Sloan rushes quickly to get the high bomb and loses it BUT Cam Munster was inside the 10 off the kick

Melbourne actually look like a team that expected something to happen but now that it isn't, they actually look out of ideas

NO TRY - The Dragons get over through Tyrell Sloan and although the decision is technically correct with Leilua running into Trent Loiero, the defence probably should've stopped Sloan anyway

The Storm lose the ball twice and Craig Bellamy wasn't happy to start with at HT and now he's even more pissed

SECOND HALF IS GO! The Dragons leading by 2 have the first use of the ball

What defence from Leilua! The Dragons stand back for the kick so Melbourne run it with McDonald going at the line but they hold him up

GRANTED A TRY - The Storm on the last tackle goes left and Munster kicks through the line and Grant Anderson is there to score

Grant Atkins telling both NAS and Moses Suli that both are skating on very thin ice after a flare up there

NAS penalised and ON REPORT for high contact on Francis Molo

Some luck there as Jahrome Hughes played himself into a cul-de-saq dancing on the spot then kicks and it's played at

The Dragons almost create something with the emphasis on almost as the pressure racing in from Will Warbrick forces a loose pass into touch

Repeat set for the Dragons as they get a result after the second kick forces Paps to run it dead

Melbourne gets a set restart for a ruck infringement but then play one turn the ball over in front of the posts

PENALTY STORM: The Storm play the ball speed is too quick for the Dragons and as Grant offloads, the receiver gets taken without the ball

Harry Grant pulls out a strange play as he tries to kick from dummy half to nutmeg the markers but it was never getting through

Dragons kick but the 2021 Kiwi Silver medallist Will Warbrick has no contest in taking it

Jahrome Hughes kicks through the line but the kick is too long

PENALTY STORM: The Dragons give away the penalty inside their own end as NAS sends Jacob Liddle back to the Tennis centre

Dragons will be grateful that they've actually kept the ball inside the field off both their kicks to start the game but the attacking kick that was only meh

PENALTY DRAGONS: The Dragons get the first penalty of the afternoon as the Storm are just way too long in getting off the tackle

A big start for the Storm making metres but Papenhuyzen loses the ball

Both sides complete their first sets but the Storm are already looking ON!

GAME ON! Grant Atkins who loves a Melbourne trip this season has the whistle and calls time on
