Storm triumph in nailbiter
The Melbourne Storm have defeated the Manly Sea Eagles 18-10 in the top of the table clash at Brookvale Oval.
Melbourne's defence held strong during the final stages, repelling the Manly attack for five consecutive sets of six.
Despite the scoreline, it could be argued that the Sea Eagles were the better team but moments of brilliance from Billy Slater and Cooper Cronk proved the difference in the end. Cronk barged over for a four-pointer of his own and also had a hand in the tries to Geyer and Folau.
Both teams are now level at the top of the ladder with 32 points.
Manly Sea Eagles - 10

Goals: Steve Matai 1/2
Melbourne Storm - 16

Tigers tame Dragons
In the other Friday night game, the St. George Illawarra Dragons have gone down to the Wests Tigers 18-10 in an often spiteful clash.
Wests' forward Todd Payten and Dragons' second rower Lagi Setu were both placed on report for a dangerous throw and high tackle respectively in a contest that was punctuated by a number of scuffles between opposing players.
Benji Marshall finished a length of the field try in the 75th minute to secure the win and propel his team to seventh on the table.
