Suliasi Vunivalu scores a try for the Storm.

The Melbourne Storm have won the minor premiership after defeating the Cronulla Sharks 26‑6 last night.

A double to Cheyse Blair and a record‑setting try to Suliasi Vunivalu led the Storm past the Sharks in front of their biggest crowd of the season.

Vunivalu caught a cross‑field kick by Cooper Cronk and scored his 22nd try of the year.

This is the most tries any Melbourne Storm player has ever scored in one season.

Vunivalu has also broken Israel Folau's 2007 club record (21) for most tries in a NRL season.

He is just the eighth player to cross for 20 tries or more in a rookie year.

Looking at other results, the Broncos beat the Roosters 24‑14, Rabbitohs defeated the Bulldogs 28‑10, Dragons beat the Knights 28‑26 while the Cowboys thrashed the Titans 32‑16.

The Wests Tigers will meet the Raiders at 4pm, the Warriors will face the Eels at 6pm while the Panthers will clash with the Roosters at 8.30 tonight.
