Storm Stun Sharks on the Siren with Miracle Play as Hynes’ Face Says It All
Melbourne overcame two Cronulla sin-binnings and a late deficit as Trent Loiero scored on the siren to seal the Storm’s 24-20 win.
On the siren, Melbourne snatched a 24-20 victory against the Sharks at Shark Park, with Trent Loiero scoring the decisive try after a flick pass from Harry Grant.
Early sin-bins hampered the Sharks, yet they rallied from a 12-0 deficit to lead 18-12 at halftime following tries from Sione Katoa, Riley Jones, and Billy Burns.
Siulagi Tuimalatu-Brown was stretchered off during the match, and Addin Fonua-Blake faces scrutiny for a potential hip-drop tackle on Cooper Clarke, while Cameron Munster, Grant, and Sua Fa'alogo sparked Melbourne's comeback.
Coach Craig Bellamy avoided his worst win-loss ratio since 2002 with the victory, while the result was a 'deflating end' for the Cronulla faithful following a recent loss to Parramatta.
The Sharks will face the Cowboys next Saturday at Allianz Stadium, with Nicho Hynes, Braydon Trindall, Blayke Brailey, and KL Iro expected to return to the side.
