Vunivalu scores a try for Melbourne Storm as they thrash the Eels

Fiji born wing, Suliasi Vunivalu scored a try for Melbourne Storm last night as they thrashed the Parramatta Eels 32-nil.

Melbourne Storm led 22‑nil at half‑time to set up a mouth‑watering preliminary final with the Roosters.

Other Melbourne Storm tries came from Josh Addo‑Carr, Nelson Asofa‑Solomona, Jahrome Hughes, Cameron Munster and Ryan Papenhuyzen.

Storm skipper, Cameron Smith was sent to the sin bin for a brain snap that resulted in two open hand slaps to Eels hooker Reed Mahoney’s face.

It was Smith’s second sin-bin in his 412‑game career.

The South Sydney Rabbitohs is also one win away from just its second grand final in 38 years after ending the Manly Sea Eagles season with a controversial 34-26 semi final victory at Sydney's Olympic stadium.

The Raiders will take on the Rabbitohs at 9.50pm Friday while Melbourne Storm will play the Roosters at 9.50pm Saturday in the semifinals.
