Cronullas were first to post points on the scoreboard, with Michael Gordon taking a penalty to see the Sharks take an early lead seven minutes into the contest.
But just four minutes later, Jesse Bromwhich opened the scoring for Melbourne.
The Storms crossed again just minutes later when they shifted the ball to the right giving Matt Duffie enough room to score.

But the first points of the half came in the 66th minute with a clever kick from Will Chambers down the short side which Duffie picked up to score.
The storm grabbed two late tries, to Dale Finucane and Cameron Munster to seal the match 30 points to 2, Cameron Smith had his kick boot on with 5 from 5 shots at goal.
