Manly welcome the Melbourne Storm to Brooky on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Melbourne with 3 wins on the trot and running 6th on 30 pts and Manly running 13th on 20 pts. Melbourne still chasing a top 4 spot if other results gp their way will be using this match as a statement going into the semi finals.
Milestones, McFadden for the Storm plays 100th NRL game, Phil Morwood debut and Glenn Stewart scores his first NRL try .
Melbourne have gone into this match fielding their strongest side (lol!)

At season's end, the NRL squad started to show some promise mixed in with some heavy defeats, if that makes any sense. The Premier Division side, marched into the semis and finished one game short of the Grand Final.
The real winner of the season is Seabird Sarah, winning the coveted title of Cheergirl of the Year
