Working overtime in defence, second-rowers Felise Kaufusi and Kenny Bromwich both recorded 108 run metres on what was a tough night for Melbourne. With nearly identical stats all night, the pair showcased their now eight years of experience together on the field in the purple jersey with an in-sync performance.

Tui Kamikamica continued his solid return to the 2022 NRL season completing 34 tackles in a strong defensive effort against the Cowboys in their hometown. The result was one less than the Cowboys' top tackle performer, Tom Gilbert, who racked up 35.

Kaufusi went on to secure Storm’s first and only try of the night after a tidy set-play opened a gap for the No.11 to slid over the line in the first half. It was the second try the forward has secured in the 2022 season after scoring thanks to a break away effort in Round 4.
