SYDNEY (AP) Teenage halfback Brodie Croft kicked a field goal in extra time to give first-place Melbourne a 23-22 win over North Queensland in the National Rugby League on Saturday.
Playing in his first game of the season, the 19-year Croft helped give Melbourne a four-point edge over the Sydney Roosters, who were among eight teams with weekend byes.
Storm coach Craig Bellamy said Croft spent a lot of time at training this week practicing his field goals.
”He worked hard and he got rewarded for that tonight, and we got rewarded for it,” Bellamy said.
