Nothing is better than seeing these silvertails get beat. "Storm skipper Cameron Smith added the conversion to make it 6-0.While the first try might have had a touch of good fortune about it, the second one oozed class with the Storm's 'Big Three' – Smith, Cooper Cronk and Billy Slater – combining to put Felise Kaufusi over for the second try of the night.Melbourne had identified Martin as a potential weakness in the Cowboys defensive line in the lead-up to the game, and he showed enough interest in Slater to open the gap for Kaufusi to slice through and score.

Melbourne Storm gave departing halfback Cooper Cronk the send-off he deserved with a comprehensive 34-6 win over North Queensland Cowboys in the NRL Grand Final at ANZ Stadium on Sunday night.Played before a crowd of 79,722 fans, the Storm proved far too strong against a Cowboys outfit whose brave charge through the finals series came to an inglorious end.The Storm were in control of the match 18-0 at halftime but the Cowboys threatened to make a game of it when five-eighth Te Maire Martin scored early in the second half.However, that simply prompted the Storm juggernaut into life and they added three unanswered tries to run away with the match.The result went a long way to easing the pain of last year's grand final, which saw the Storm lose to Cronulla by the barest of margins 14-12.It was also fitting farewell for Cronk, who announced earlier this season that he would leave the club at the end of the season, although he is yet to determine if he will play on in 2018.Fullback Billy Slater, who is also yet to decide if he will go around again next season, grabbed a try and the Clive Churchill Medal while captain Cameron Smith was strong calling the shots.North Queensland's grand final hopes against Melbourne got off to a horror start after starting prop Shaun Fensom went down with a sickening injury after only three minutesThe incident allowed Storm prop Jesse Bromwich to make a break before he was pulled down short of the line by Cowboys hooker Jake Granville and lost the ball.Fensom signalled he was in trouble to the trainer straight away with an ankle injury and received immediate treatment on the ground to relieve the pain.He was consoled by Cowboys captain Gavin Cooper, as he was loaded on to the stretcher and taken from the field by medicab.It was a cruel blow for Fensom, who had been waiting nine years to play in a NRL grand final after relocating from Canberra to North Queensland this season.He gave the thumbs up to the crowd as he was being taken from the field to reassure his family and fans he was ok, prompting a smile from injured stars Matt Scott and Johnathan Thurston in the coaching box.
