Vunivalu helps the Storm beat the Knights 26-12

Suliasi Vunivalu scored as the Melbourne Storm beat the Newcastle Knights 26-12.

In typical Storm fashion, skipper Cameron Smith was the chief orchestrator in the victory, keeping up the pressure on the Knights who eventually crumbled.

Smith set up two of the three first-half tries as Melbourne took an 18-2 lead into the sheds, but it could have been more if not for some defensive resilience from the Knights.

In other matches last night, the Rabbitohs beat the Titans 32-12 while the Canberra Raiders beat the Wests Tigers 14-6.

In today’s matches the Bulldogs will face off against the Roosters at 6.05 pm while the Dragons will meet the Sharks at 8.30pm.
