We'll catch you next time!
Nikorima's Benji shoutout
Kodi Nikorima has given a bit of insight into his flick pass which set up Ray Stone's first try.
He said it was all of instincts but then gave a shoutout to a current NRL coach.
"I grew up watching Benji Marshall a lot, he's one of my favourite players so shout out to Benji," he told Nine.
That's it
With one second left, Ryan Papenhuyzen slots a conversion from the sideline.
And for the first time ever, the Dolphins have beaten the Storm. Final score 42-22.
Consolation for Bradley
Well if this was closer, that'd be considered quite a brilliant try.
Jahrome Hughes' kick was even more pinpoint than the first try. Kane Bradley jumped over Jack Bostock brilliantly and scored.
Ryan Papenhuyzen has been put on report too. Unsure what for at the moment.
Sin bins galore
We're at 12 on 12 here.
A traditional tackle from Josh Kerr forced a knock on by Tyran Wishart.
But then both sides came together. There was not much in it.
But nonetheless Trent Loiero and Kurt Donoghoe have been binned.
It's a jumping Herbie!
The icing is on the cake for the Dolphins and somehow there's a smirk from Craig Bellamy.

Another bomb went up from Isaiya Katoa and Kane Bradley dropped it cold.
Herbie Farnworth took, stepped around Jahrome Hughes before swan diving into the corner.
"This could possibly be their greatest victory," Cameron Smith said on Nine.
Concern for Nikorima
Kodi Nikorima is clutching at his ankle and he was caught awkwardly when Herbie Farnworth tried to make a tackle and swept his feet from under him.
Earlier, Marlee Silva revealed Felise Kaufusi is out for the match with a medial issue.
The Dolphins are unstoppable!
Isaiya Katoa has done it again!
He put a grubber through and who else was going to score but Kodi Nikorima?
The little veteran used his speed to get past the Melbourne defence and put the ball down first.
Jamayne Isaako converts.
Ray Stone has a double!
This match may have just been put beyond doubt!
Isaiya Katoa put up a bomb and Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow jumped high above Ryan Papenhuyzen who stayed on the ground.
He flicked the ball to Stone who scored again.
Storm enforcer in trouble
Amid all the chaos and flick passes, Tui Kamikamica was placed on report for a high shot earlier.
