NRL Sunday AS IT HAPPENED: Newcastle defeat Melbourne 14-12 to secure first win of the season; Leo Thompson on report for foul play; Parramatta claim victory over Manly

Thanks for tuning into Wide World of Sports' LIVE coverage of Sunday afternoon football.

We'll be back next week for more NRL action.

Newcastle win 14-12!

It was far from convincing with the Storm having three of its best players out in Nelson Asofa-Solomona, Cameron Munster and Jahrome Hughes but a win's a win.

To the right and about 45 metres out, Ryan Papenhuyzen had a crack at a two-point field goal.

It didn't get close.

Tyran Wishart has put his side back in it!

The halfback dummied and fooled the Knights defence, going straight through the line and Kalyn Ponga couldn't stop him.

Jayden Brailey and Leo Thompson were the men that failed in the line and Ponga was very angry after the try.

Nick Meaney converts and it's 14-12 the Knights way.

A big bomb at Ryan Papenhuyzen went high to catch it!

He jumped over Leo Thompson and couldn't catch it cleanly at all.

Leo Thompson has been put on report for foul play.

"He might have an issue with the contact there given the way Ryan Papenhuyzen came down so heavily," commentator Warren Smith said on Fox League.

Melbourne are in!

Jonah Pezet put his kick on a dime with Xavier Coates contesting. Thomas Jenkins struggled to control the ball and it fell to Ryan Papenhuyzen who put it over the line.

Nick Meaney converts.

Fox League has revealed that Reimis Smith has received a pain-killing injection but the response has not been good.

The Storm are still hopeful he'll return.

The second half is underway with Melbourne kicking off.

Newcastle go into the sheds leading 14-0.

Adam Elliott is clutching at his ankle but he's sticking it out and has packed in for the scrum.
