What a spirited second half display from Wests. They looked dead and buried at the break, but came back to go within a metre of tying the game up - had you offered me 200-1 on them at half time, I wouldn't have wasted a dollar - but they very nearly got it done.
Despite that, it's another win for the Storm who set up a blockbuster clash with Brisbane next week. Thanks for following along, we'll see you next time.
Smith drills it through, 29-20.
Koroibete has it stolen with two in the tackle and you'd think the Storm will take a shot at goal here!
Brooks throws an audacious no-look flick pass to Tedesco but it goes to ground!
Naiqama bats the short kickoff backwards and Wests have a chance!
It wasn't the cleanest strike but it got there! It clears the crossbar by about a metre. Is that game over? Still five to play..
Rankin gets a hand to a Brooks bomb but knocks on! Wests running out of time here..
Cronk has a crack from 20 out, right in front...and slices it wide!
Aloiai holds down Vunivalu too long - that's a brutal one to concede. Eight minutes to go, I'm sure they'll be thinking field goal!
Brooks grubbers, but Cronk covers it up. He's tackled just in front of his own line, the Storm desperately need some strong runs here!
