Brisbane’s defence, which had conceded 66 points in their opening two rounds, also found some steel as they foiled Melbourne’s desperate attempts to wrest back control.
The Storm had multiple chances to score but couldn’t put the finishing touches on their attack.
They had no such trouble in the first half when they completed at 88 per cent, continuing their impressive form in their previously unbeaten start to the season.
