Live: Sea Eagles tear into Storm, Olakau'atu on a tear

The Melbourne Storm and Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles kicked off their NRL match in Perth on Saturday, with Cameron Munster making a return for the Storm. Later, Brisbane's Dolphins were set to host the Broncos at Lang Park, while Newcastle's Rabbitohs sought to solidify their position in the top eight against the Eels.

Tyran Wishart displayed impressive running ability as he broke through the Sea Eagles defense and scored a try. The rain had started again, but it did not hinder the Sea Eagles' efforts. Despite a poor performance from the Storm, they managed to trail 14-6.

Refereeing decisions in the match were questioned by fans, with several controversial calls made throughout the game. The Storm lost the ball frequently, with five out of their 12 sets resulting in turnovers. Manly's Shawn Blore faced accusations of tackling Lehi Hopoate in the air, but it is unclear whether this occurred or not.

Cam Munster, a key player for the Storm, was involved in a contentious tackle on Hopoate and was seen assisting the Sea Eagles staff member helping the injured player off the field. The Storm continued to hand the ball to Manly, who capitalized on the opportunities to score. The Sea Eagles led 12-0 at one point, after Moses Leo was tackled by Nathan Brown, but the Storm managed to get the ball out to Saab, who cleared it for a goal-line drop out.

Several controversial plays occurred during the game, including a late tackle by Siulagi Tuimalatu-Brown on Blake Wilson and a dangerous tackle on Tolutau Koula. Both incidents were ruled in favor of the Sea Eagles by the Bunker. The Storm's offensive performance was poor, with the team struggling to catch a break and consistently losing the ball. Despite the outcome, the match was considered a significant upset, with the Storm's performance far below their usual standard.
