Match Centre

FULL-TIME. The Storm steal it here! No-one could have predicted that it would be this close, but they get a 2 point win at home.

BUNKER: WOW! After a solid set from the Bulldogs with lots of ball movement, R. Smith looks to be in the corner! Try call on field.

PENALTY Storm: After taking the last tackle bomb from the Dogs, Hughes is taken high and relieve the pressure for the Storm.

Big run down the left from Holland. The Dogs attack well but throwing it around and trying everything ends with no result.

The Bulldogs look rattled and desperate now. It will take a lot to get a late try here.

A big bomb on the right from Croft and Okunbor has made a mess of it! The Storm will get a scrum feed just 10 metres out..

The Storm on the attack and the last tackle option from Croft isn't a great one, chipkicking straight to the Bulldogs. Who will break this deadlock?

The Bulldogs push it down the right, but lose the ball after a promising play. The Storm are going to be dangerous now.

Nice 30 metre kick return from Reimis Smith. The Bulldogs looking positive again here.

The Dogs attack down the right, but can't get over on the last. Turnover.

PENALTY Bulldogs: A bad pass from the Storm sees it on the ground and Cam Smith pushes his hip into the Bulldogs player and is penalised.

Great take from Meaney at the back. He's a good young player, this Dogs fullback.

PENALTY Storm: A leg pull in the tackle on Munster. Storm getting piggyback penalties here.

PENALTY Storm: Bulldogs judged as offside accidentally as they attempted to get to the line.

FORWARD PASS Storm: A tap on from Asofa-Solomona is judged forward and the Dogs have it on the halfway line.

Okunbor runs through Cam Smith again, but again Hughes stops him down-field. Big run from the youngster!

Chambers attempts a little chip down the left. It bounces off Hopoate back to Chambers and he's bundled over the sideline. Bulldogs ball.

The Bulldogs diffuse a Munster chip and have the ball now.

The Bulldogs almost snatched an intercept there via Reimis Smith, but he ends up knocking it on and the Storm will have six more just 20 metres out.

PENALTY Storm: Ogden accused of a crusher tackle on Chambers.

The second half is underway! CHN is back on the park, having passed his HIA.

Half-time here at AAMI Park! Who would have expected the Bulldogs to be up? Not me! A good and tough 40 as the Dogs ran with confidence and the Storm looked messy. What will happen in the next 40? Stay tuned when we return in around 10 mins!

Excellent set from the Bulldogs on the stroke of halftime. They force a dropout after some nice running from Meaney, R. Smith and clever kick from Lewis.

This time, it's the Bulldogs who hand it over after running it on the last. Is it that hard to count to 5?

The Storm run it on the last again, but this time there's nothing doing and they hand it over. Just a few minutes left in the half.

Napa is out for the day and now Corey Harawirs-Naera is going off for a HIA. The Dogs could be down to 15 in this game.

BUNKER: Could be a penalty try here for a tackle from Reimis Smith on Chambers.

PENALTY Storm: Lewis tries his luck with a bomb down the right and there's another kick involved, but Dogs penalised for holding players back.

NO TRY! Finucane gets in the way of the defensive line and obstructs according to the bunker. Can't do that.

BUNKER: Welch steps inside from a few metres out and looks to have scored here. No try called on field.

Six more for the Storm, right on the Bulldogs line.

NO TRY! Great work by the Bulldogs to hold Finucane up over the line. Desperation!

BUNKER: Finucane looks to have scored here. No try called on field.

PENALTY Storm: Crowding in the ruck?

PENALTY Storm: Tolman pinged for holding on to the legs a bit too long there. He has to learn how to spin them around like the Storm, I guess.

The Bulldogs are targeting the left and making metres all day against Vunivalu and Curtis Scott.

PENALTY Bulldogs: The Storm are making some metres now, but Munster pushed a Bulldog player pretty crudely after a bomb went up. Bellamy will be blowing up.

INTERCHANGE Bulldogs: Adam Elliot is ON, Dylan Napa is OFF.

Dylan Napa is off and up the tunnel. Might need some work on that ankle.

The Bulldogs hold out on the line. A last tackle kick to the corner from Croft floats over the sideline.

PENALTY Storm: A bit too much attention in the play of the ball from the Bulldogs.

HUGE break from Okunbor! He steamrolled Cam Smith before running 40 metres down the field. He's stopped by Hughes though and then a drop ball from Corey Harawira-Naera.

A positive run down the left through Holland and Okunbor. The Bulldogs really are playing with purpose! The Storm have it back now.

A 40/20 attempt from Croft goes pretty close, but not close enough.

A few complete sets in a row here. The Bulldogs went 90 metres on that set and are looking confident. The Storm look a little rattled.

That's the first try the Storm have conceded in the first half this year! Big effort from the Dogs!

PENALTY Bulldogs: A deflected kick from the Bulldogs has landed with Munster and he runs 30 metres down the field, but the ref has pulled it back for an offside penalty.

Melbourne run it on the last and try to find a way down the left wing. Cleaned up by the Bulldogs though.

Napa rolled his angle in one of the opening exchanges, but it battling on. The first two sets are complete. Better metres from the Bulldogs.

The questions we have - a) Can the Bulldogs somehow pull a win off at the Storm's home ground? b) Will Cam Smith score the 9 points required to become the highest all-time scoring leader c) Will it be a bloodbath?

We're minutes away from this Round 4 clash between the Melbourne Storm and Canterbury Bulldogs here at AAMI Park. One change to the teams with Josh Addo-Carr taking the game off for family reasons, shuffling Will Chambers to the wing and bringing Marion Seve into the centres. Ryan Papenhuyzen will debut on the bench. Bulldogs are 1-17 after their big win last weekend.
