North Queensland are celebrating their first win over the Melbourne Storm since 2006 after a thumping 34-6 win over the NRL pacesetters in Townsville.
The Storm had no answers to the Cowboys' defence and had few attacking chances in the rain-soaked conditions.
Dairy Farmers Stadium had previously been a happy hunting ground for the Melbourne side, who'd downed the Cowboys by at least 14 points in their last two matches in Townsville.
