3RD MINUTE: KNIGHTS 0-6 STORM
Nick Meaney has put the Melbourne Storm in front after picking up a loose ball and dashing virtually untouched through the middle of the Newcastle Knights and scoring a try.
The Knights had broken down the left flank and star centre Bradman Best looked to off-load the ball.
But his teammate Phoenix Crossland couldn’t hold onto the ball cleanly, allowing Meaney to grab it and sprint from one end of the field to the other before adding the extras.
