Melbourne Storm Crush Cronulla Sharks to Stay Top of the NRL Ladder

The Melbourne Storm continued their dominant form in the NRL on Saturday night, crushing the Cronulla Sharks 42-6 at AAMI Park.

The Storm led from start to finish, scoring six tries to one to remain top of the ladder. Jahrome Hughes was the star of the show for the Storm, scoring two tries and setting up another. Cameron Munster was also impressive, scoring a try and kicking five goals.

The Sharks were never in the contest, and their defeat leaves them in seventh place on the ladder. They will need to improve significantly if they want to challenge for the finals.

The Storm's win was their seventh in a row, and they are now looking like the team to beat in the NRL. They have a well-balanced side, with plenty of attacking firepower and a strong defence.

The Storm will be looking to continue their winning streak when they take on the Parramatta Eels next week. The Eels are also in good form, and this should be a great match-up.

Here are some of the key moments from the match:

• The Storm opened the scoring in the seventh minute when Hughes scored his first try.

• Munster extended the Storm's lead to 12-0 in the 18th minute with a try of his own.

• The Storm scored two more tries in the first half to lead 24-0 at halftime.

• Hughes scored his second try of the night in the 48th minute to put the Storm out of reach.

• The Storm scored two more tries in the second half to complete a comprehensive victory.

Here are some of the talking points from the match:

• The Storm's dominance was evident from the start of the match. They were clinical in attack and their defence was rock-solid.

• Hughes was the star of the show for the Storm. He scored two tries, set up another, and kicked five goals.

• Munster was also impressive for the Storm. He scored a try and kicked five goals.

• The Sharks were never in the contest. They made too many errors and their attack was blunt.

The Storm's win was a statement of intent. They are the team to beat in the NRL and they will be looking to win the premiership this year.
