The Dolphins produced a stunning second-half fightback to defeat the Storm 28-10 at Suncorp Stadium, condemning Melbourne to a historic seventh straight defeat for the first time in the club’s history.
After falling behind 10-0 early, Redcliffe stormed home with 28 unanswered points, inspired by the return of Jack Bostock, who scored twice in his first NRL appearance since suffering an ACL injury last year.
Bostock was outstanding alongside Herbie Farnworth as the Dolphins snapped their own losing streak, while Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow and Max Plath also made key contributions in a gritty display.
Melbourne showed flashes of brilliance through Sua Fa’alogo’s sensational long-range try, but the Storm faded badly after halftime, with Cameron Munster struggling to impose himself amid growing concern over the club’s alarming form and emotional scenes surrounding coach Craig Bellamy following news of his neurodegenerative diagnosis.
