Melbourne Storm have reported that Will Warbrick led them to victory over the Dolphins in a nail-biting game.

Warbrick's return from injury inspired the team to a 30-24 win, marking their third consecutive victory.

In a thrilling match that could have gone either way, a crucial late try-saving tackle from Ryan Papenhuyzen and Sua Faalogo prevented a potential game-tying effort from Trai Fuller.

The first half was a high-scoring affair, with six tries scored in a see-sawing battle where neither team could establish a comfortable lead.

Despite playing with only 16 men for most of the game, the Dolphins put up a brave fight.

Warbrick, who had been sidelined for a month with a hip flexor injury, made a huge impact on his return.

His dominance on the field caused chaos for the Dolphins, especially after Jack Bostock was forced off with a head injury early in the match.

Papenhuyzen also made his comeback from injury, scoring the opening try for the Storm.

Meanwhile, Tevita Pangai jnr made a successful return to the NRL with a solid performance off the bench for the Dolphins.

Overall, it was a hard-fought victory for the Storm, who continue to lead the competition.

The game was filled with drama and excitement, making it a memorable night for Rugby League fans.
