Storm 29, Tigers 20

What a spirited second half display from Wests. They looked dead and buried at the break, but came back to go within a metre of tying the game up - had you offered me 200-1 on them at half time, I wouldn't have wasted a dollar - but they very nearly got it done. 

Despite that, it's another win for the Storm who set up a blockbuster clash with Brisbane next week. Thanks for following along, we'll see you next time.

Smith drills it through, 29-20.

Koroibete has it stolen with two in the tackle and you'd think the Storm will take a shot at goal here! 

Brooks throws an audacious no-look flick pass to Tedesco but it goes to ground! 

Naiqama bats the short kickoff backwards and Wests have a chance!

Cronk nails one from 40 out!

It wasn't the cleanest strike but it got there! It clears the crossbar by about a metre. Is that game over? Still five to play..

Rankin gets a hand to a Brooks bomb but knocks on! Wests running out of time here..

Cronk has a crack from 20 out, right in front...and slices it wide!

Aloiai holds down Vunivalu too long - that's a brutal one to concede. Eight minutes to go, I'm sure they'll be thinking field goal! 

Brooks grubbers, but Cronk covers it up. He's tackled just in front of his own line, the Storm desperately need some strong runs here!

Cronk kicks long but then Proctor hits Tedesco high on the kick return! Tigers find touch on their own 40m line. 

Tedesco goes within a metre of tying the game!

Oh my goodness, he was nearly in under the posts! Brooks runs it on the last and puts through a deft chip back on the inside, his fullback steams on to it and beats a couple before the very last cover defender thwarts him! 

Moses pushes it wide but it's a one-score game! 26-20.

Nofoaluma goes in untouched!

Boy oh boy, this is game well and truly on. Glorious cut-out pass from Moses to Naiqama, who has the simple task of drawing Koriobete and putting his outside man over without a finger laid on him! 

Forward pass! Bromwich throws it and the Tigers get the ball inside Melbourne's half again.

Another bomb to Vunivalu who takes it well and then cops an accidental knee to the head by Simona. Not a penalty but that would hurt!

Naiqama catches a bomb and is then caught high by Blair! The Tigers march up the field again! 

They bomb Vunivalu again but this time he takes it cleanly and completes the process. The Storm have struggled in the first 20 of the second half, but the Tigers have completed all 11 of their sets!

Moses converts! 26-16 with just over 20 minutes to play.
