Storm enjoy more Sunshine Coast success

-

The Melbourne Storm moved to within one win of leaders Penrith with a 20-14 victory over the Gold Coast Titans in yesterday’s only NRL game. It was another ‘home’ win for the Storm at Sunshine Coast Stadium, a venue where they enjoyed great success when camped there for five months last season. The Titans opened the scoring but the Storm were ahead 16-4 at the break, a lead they never relinquish­ed. Former Wests Tigers NRL premiershi­p-winning coach Tim Sheens, 70, has returned to the club as its new head of football performanc­e. Sheens guided the Tigers to the 2005 grand final win and has taken up a new role at the club overseeing recruitmen­t, pathways, football administra­tion and club culture. The appointmen­t came just hours after the Tigers overcame the Origin-depleted Penrith Panthers 26-6 on Friday night.
