The Melbourne Storm have continued their stunning form with a 50-2 win against Newcastle at McDonald Jones Stadium.
Following last week’s 70-10 win over the Warriors, the Storm picked up where they left off to cross over nine times compared to the Knights’ none.
Xavier Coates was again the beneficiary of the Storm’s dominant play as he scored a hattrick of tries, while star centre Justin Olam crossed over for two of his own.

The win is the Storm’s fifth in a row, and they’ll hope to make it six when they host the Dragons at AAMI Park next Sunday afternoon.
