The Melbourne Storm rugby league side has breathed new life into its bid for a third straight minor premiership with a 16-10, round 22, NRL win against leader Manly.
The Storm have ended a nine-year hoodoo at Brookvale Oval.
Manly dominated the closing stages as they pushed for the game-equalling try.
But the Storm repelled their rivals for four consecutive sets to claim their third straight win against the Sea Eagles and first at Brookvale since 1999.
The Storm now sit level with the team they beat in last year's decider atop the NRL ladder, with Manly ahead only on for-and-against with four rounds to play.
Meanwhile Wests Tigers talisman, New Zealand's Benji Marshall, has scored the game-clinching try against St George Illawarra tonight, the visitors winning 18-10 at WIN Stadium.
The Tigers have moved to 24 competition points, equal sixth with the Dragons.
