导出博客文章Melbourne have secured a NRL preliminary finals berth with a pulsating 16-10 win
at AAMI Park, forcing defending premiers North Queensland into a do-or-die clash
next weekend with Brisbane.It was some revenge on Saturday night for the Storm,
who last season were sent crashing out in their preliminary final against the
Cowboys at the same venue.They will enjoy a week off, as North Queensland host
the Broncos.Melbournes kicking game, including a 40-20 by skipper Cameron Smith,
proved key, particularly in the dying stages.The minor premiers and the
titleholders played out an absorbing battle with the teams locked at 6-6 at
halftime.Smith broke the deadlock with a penalty goal in the 49th minute and
then Storm centre Cheyse Blair made a crucial strip on Cowboys five-eighth
Michael Morgan, with prop Jesse Bromwich burrowing over in the following set to
make it 14-6.It looked like the home side would take control of the match but
Morgan made amends soon after when he fired a ball to winger Kyle Feldt, who
dived over in the corner.Johnathan Thurston failed to convert to leave the score
at 14-10.That was extended by Smith with Feldt giving away a silly penalty as he
tackled Blair.The Storm dominated early, throwing everything at their
rivals.After 20 minutes, they had had 64 per cent of possession and 73 per cent
of territory but couldnt crack the North Queensland defence until the 32nd
minute.Winger Suliasi Vunivalu collected his 23rd try of the season when he
pounced on a ball lost by Cowboys centre Kane Linnett.The flying Fijian turned
on the jets to run 60 metres, burning off Thurston to touch down.However, the
Cowboys then gained some momentum which paid off in the final minute of the half
with a kick by Thurston ricocheting off a Storm player. It was scooped up by
Lachlan Coote, who found Antonio Winterstein in the corner.NRL QUALIFYING FINAL
