The Roosters were unable to weather the Storm in a scrappy contest at Allianz Stadium on Thursday night, with Storm winger Xavier Coates delivering another spectacular match-winning try.
Coates showcased enormous strength as he powered through three defenders to slam the ball down and secure a ninth win in the last 10 clashes between the two teams.
This epic moment adds to Coates' impressive highlight reel, following his wonder try against the Warriors in Round 2 and an acrobatic four-pointer in the win over the Broncos.
The Storm took an early lead with a try from Jahrome Hughes, but the Roosters quickly answered back through Michael Jennings.
The defensive intensity ramped up as both teams traded mistakes, with the error count reaching eight after just 25 minutes of play.
Ultimately, the Storm emerged victorious, continuing their dominance over the Roosters in recent matchups.
It was a tough battle, but the Storm proved to be too strong for the Roosters on this occasion.
