Controversies arising after Melbourne Storm vs Warriors clash…
Corey Parker of Fox League praised Storm No. 7 on commentary, saying that Hughes is “picking apart the Warriors’ defensive line, single-handedly.”
It was much the same in the second half. The first few minutes of the match saw New Zealand’s intensity on display, both with the ball and in defense.
Mitch Barnett pulled three defenders across the line in the 45th minute to score and put the Warriors within striking distance of victory.
Before Warriors wingers Marcelo Montoya and Dallin Watene-Zelezniak were sin-binned in rapid succession, the game appeared to be decided, forcing Andrew Webster’s team to play defense with 11 men for a short while.
As they tend to do, Melbourne picked apart their weakened opposition, showcasing the ruthlessness that has them leading the competition halfway through the season
