Melbourne Storm beat South Sydney Rabbitohs 26-18 in NRL season opener
The Melbourne Storm have kicked off their premiership defence in the same way they have started the past 20 seasons — with victory, this time over South Sydney.
Just as they did in their last game, the 2020 grand final, Melbourne jumped out to a 22-0 lead in the first half before letting their opposition back into the game.
But again, four second-half points were enough to get them home 26-18 over the Rabbitohs.
More to come.
