A bitter night at ‘the Graveyard’, Storm needed to prove they can be quick out of the blocks and tough to beat.
At half time the score was 4-0, not a big start on paper…however the Storm boys were doing the grind of wearing the Sharks out. The final score was a big change, 30-10!!
5 tries for the Storm in the second half turned the game from a close game to an easy win.

It was a day out for the young Demons players today, as they got over the line for their 2nd win in as many weeks.
Port Power were on the back foot for most of the afternoon until the last quarter where they got within 7 points of the Dees, a scare that had all of us fans worrying that their 3rd season win was going to be snatched away.
The Jurrahcane (Liam Jurrah) was on fire taking two amazing high flying grabs, & kicked a bag of goals, proving he’s the new excitement machine of the Demons.
Ricky Pettard had a dominant performance again, kicking 4 goals and having a hand in many other scoring plays.

Leading into the Match-up against the Broncos, I predicted a 50 nil win for the Storm. I was close! The Storm ended up with a massive win, 48-4 in front of a massive Melbourne crowd at Olympic Park a.k.a. The Graveyard.
Storm and Broncos were both backing up after the State of Origin, however Broncos were without their leader Lockyer.
Storms leading point scorer in the big victory was young gun Jospeh Tomane, who not only got over for three of his own tries, but was the goal kicker on the night, kicking 5 of his conversions through the posts, giving him a total of 24 points of the 48 scored by the Storm. (more…)

The ground before the Maroons ran out
Storm carried Queensland Maroons, again, to another State Of Origin win over the New South Wales Blues last night at Etihad Stadium in front of one of the biggest crowds ES has seen in recent years!
SOA began with a bang, fireworks and Evermore performed a few of their hits, including ‘Running’.
Just moments into the game, the Blues found themselves given 6 more just 20 metres out from their try line, but opted to go for a penalty kick. This set the game at 2-0 to the Blues.
Blues’ Hayne almost put NSW further in front when it looked like he sprinted down the edge of the field and got past Slater for a try…but after Harrigan’s minutes of watching the video replay, decided Hayne stepped out of play and the try was disallowed - phew! (more…)
