Storm claim minor premiership after belting Knights

Melbourne has officially sealed the minor premiership with fill-in half Brodie Croft firing the Storm to a 44-12 win over Newcastle.

Stepping into the shoes of rested Queensland and Australian playmaker Cooper Cronk, the 20-year-old Croft was a stand-out, scoring three tries and setting up another two in front of 16,001 spectators at the Knights’ home ground.

The Storm moved to 40 points, six in front of second-placed Brisbane, locking up first spot and assuring they will lift the JJ Giltinan Shield.
