It's been brewing all season, but until the Storm won the NRL grand final, there was always a little doubt. Melbourne played one hell of a grand final and are well deserved premiers in the NRL 2017 (and I couldn't be happier!) It definitely makes up for last years loss.
What a way for three champions of the club to finish there last game together! Billy Slater, Cameron Smith and Cooper Cronk have given so much for the Storm and it's fitting they were able to finish together as champions, as they are arguably the greatest trio in rugby league history.

Thanks Billy for pushing through two injury plagued seasons to get back on the big stage and put in an awesome performance. The hard work and effort to get back are all worth it now.
The final score of 34 -6 summarises the class and distance between the next best this year, as Melbourne have been dominate all year. Well done boys, very proud of your efforts.
Go Storm!! Premiers 2017
