The try will be remembered as a controversial one however, as the Cowboys called for it to be recalled as a scrum after two Storm players ran into the referee during the play.

The decision was sent up to the bunker where it was then ruled that it was a try, and the Melbourne Storm were awarded the first four points of the night.

A conversion from Cameron Smith put them up 6-0 in the 20th minute.
