Eels continue winning run

Have the Storm become the Eels' 'bunnies'? Beating Melbourne once is a mighty achievement - the Eels have now won the last three games in a row against the Storm machine. No team in the NRL can boast that sort of record against Craig Bellamy's men in recent seasons and the feat makes a mockery of critics who say the Eels can't win big pressure games. The Storm went into the home game as firm favourites and several times they looked like they would take the points - especially after Ryan Papenhauzen's last-gasp try that took the game into extra time. But the Eels held their nerve and full marks to Ray Stone, who must have been exhausted but was the one player to chase Mitchell Moses' field goal shot that hit the post, picking up the crumbs to become the Eels' unlikely hero.
