Melbourne defeated South Sydney 28–16, although they were far from their best. Nevertheless, the Storm accomplished enough to secure a premiership matchup with Penrith the next week.
The Storm defeated the Rabbitohs with ease thanks to a magnificent try to Grant Anderson early in the second half, which was set up by a Ryan Papenhuyzen bust.
If they want to defeat the Panthers the following Thursday night in what could turn out to be a minor premiership final, they will need to do better.

Papenhuyzen made his 2024 debut in full flight one month before the finals, on Thursday night at Accor Stardium, where he scored a try and set up another.
