Three weeks after breaking his wrist, Kiwi half Jahrome Hughes has scored a try, as Melbourne Storm overcame Cronulla Sharks 22-14 to book a spot in next week's NRL Grand Final.

Former All Blacks Sevens star William Warbrick also scored for the Storm, who will now face either Brisbane Broncos or four-time defending champions Penrith Panthers for the championship.
