Half break for the Storm down our right but we are able to contain it, just.

Melbourne come back to our left without much impact before running it on the last. The Eels scramble well to pull down the runner and get the turnover.

Fantastic dart from Bush as he slices through the ruck. He has Makelim on his left and Clay on his right and he opts to find his halfback.

Clay pins his ears for the line but a great chase from Munster pulls him down! Penalty for the Eels from the next play.

The Eels start the set down their left before working back to their right where some loose offloads nearly turn the ball over.

They come back to their left where Davis has an unmarked Li on his outside. He looks for the pass but a hand from a Melbourne 3/4 prevents the try.

Scrum to Parra.

Kamikamica is struggling with an ankle injury but takes another run.

Newbigging and Muna take the next two runs before the Eels bring the ball to the left.

Matterson has support out to his left but he takes on the line himself and simply powers through three defenders to score.

Good strength from Matterson but gee that was some weak defence.

Flat kickoff from the Storm as Newbigging brings the ball back for the Eels.

Nice shift down the left edge by Parra but the Storm slide well and stop the play.

Markus brings up the last on halfway before a clinical kick from Matterson finds touch 1m out from the Storm goal line.

Fantastic set.

Scrum to the Storm 10m out from their goal line.

Lots of one outs from Melbourne but they make solid metres from it.

There looks to be a knock on from the Storm but the ref rules the Eels knocked on first but the Eels win a scrum against the feed.

What is going on?

The ball is moved to the left immediately from the win as the Eels work for a right-edge shift.

The shift comes via Clay as he Puts Fuimaono into some space. The backrower come centre flicks the ball out to his winger, Lavaka who looks to have scored in the corner.

The ref awards the try but the Storm challenge the call.

It looks like the call will be overturned.

matterson needs to work on his defense - for a well built guy he's a bit soft (well from what i've seen)

The decision is indeed over turned.

20m restart for Melbourne.

The Storm make good metres from the seven tackle set and are well positioned for an attacking kick at the end of the set.

They never get to that kick as Munster loses the ball after making a half break.

Scrum to Parra on their 10m line.

He usually is rock solid in defence.

Penalty to the Eels now.

Moeroa takes the opening hit up from the restart and is followed by Kamikamica.

Clay runs the ball down the right but is pulled down so the Eels work it to the left on the next play.

A lovely ball from Matterson to a perfectly angled Moeora puts the backrower into open space!

Moeroa backs himself against Munster and beats the fullback to the line!
