Winger Xavier Coates scored four tries among the side's 13 but had to share star status with Ryan Papenhuyzen. The superstar fullback scored twice in the space ...

But that was all the Warriors fans had to celebrate as their game completely fell apart in the second half with Melbourne scoring 10 unanswered tries. In that half they were hurt by two runaway tries by the Storm with the first coming as the Warriors were set to score in the seventh minute. The superstar fullback scored twice in the space of five minutes in the second half to break the back of the Warriors and put the game out of reach.

Melbourne have put an injury-hit Warriors side to the sword with a comprehensive 70-10 win at AAMI Park on Monday night.

It's not a reflection of all the players, we had players working extremely hard and put themselves on the line but when you're playing against the best teams and don't have the ball, the best players can not look good. "Some people [gave up], I've been in this game for a long time and it's disappointing to sit here and say that but some people looked for the easiest way out they could and that's sad. We didn't let them score a try in the second half. "It was quite unbelievable in the second half, they obviously had a few injuries which helps a little bit. I don't really know what to say, it's nice to score some points and also a privilege to play on this special day." - It was the third time the Storm have put 50 points on the Warriors in the ANZAC clash, while the 70 points was the highest the Warriors have ever conceded by the club.

To compound their nightmare, the Warriors also lost Josh Curran and Dallin Watene-Zelezniak to serious injuries. Stay ahead of the game. Get the day's sports ...

But the Warriors didn't buckle and a superb Johnson chip – and devilish bounce – put Wayde Egan in beside the posts on the half hour mark. That was tough to take, but the Warriors rebounded quickly and a superb flat ball from Chanel Harris-Tavita sent Dallin Watene-Zelezniak across in the corner. The Storm disappeared out of sight after that, as the Warriors could barely completed a set in the second half.

All three of the Storm's first-half trys came from costly mistakes by the Warriors.

Adding to the Warriors woes, Watene-Zelezniak was taken from the ground on a stretcher following an ugly head clash. The Warriors had a promising start, matching it with Melbourne, however the contest soon evaporated away in the second-half as the Storm stacked on points. Kosi's failed attempt to ground the ball resulted in an easy put down for Xavier Coates. The Storm youngster later finished the match with a dominant four trys, including a hat-trick in just eight minutes.

Warriors coach Nathan Brown has dropped Ed Kosi as the sole non-forced change to his starting side, despite the team slumping to a record 70-10 ANZAC Day ...

The 11th-placed the Warriors face the 15th-placed Raiders in Redcliffe on Saturday evening. Five-eighth Daejarn Asi was named on the extended 11-man bench after completing his move to the Warriors from the North Queensland Cowboys on Tuesday afternoon. Kosi has dropped out of the 17 to face the Raiders on Saturday after a horror night against the storm, with winger Viliami Vailea named to make his fourth first-grade appearance on the wing.

With so many players injured or suspended, winger Edward Kosi is the only Warrior who has lost his place in the 17 after the Storm debacle.

He does need to sort that out, but has consistently been backed by the club’s coaches who believe in his talent. Like elite athletes at their peak, our sports journalists are highly trained in the art of news. So we're asking you to support us with more than your attention. Although whether Vatuvei should still be held up as a club legend is a different matter. Kosi has been dropped from the Warriors team to play against the Raiders on Saturday night as Brown has made a number of changes to the team that was embarrassed by the Storm on Monday, although most of those changes were forced. But the reality is that his squad is down to the bare bones, because of injuries and suspensions.

The Denver Nuggets managed to stay alive in a crucial Game 4 against the Golden State Warriors, avoiding a dreaded sweep.

While the Nuggets definitely earned their win with some incredibly gritty play, the NBA revealed a crucial mistake during its Last Two Minute Report. There was a very critical moment in the game where Andrew Wiggins missed a putback dunk that would have given the Warriors a lead with 40 seconds left. The NBA's Last Two Minute Report revealed that this was actually an incorrect call. The ball was ruled off on Otto Porter, but it actually went off on Monté Morris. The Golden State Warriors should have gotten the ball back with 40 seconds left to try and get the lead again.

New signing Daejarn Asi has walked straight onto an extended NZ Warriors bench, as they try to regroup from their Anzac Day debacle against Canberra Raiders ...

Watene-Zelezniak was out cold before he even hit the ground in a sickening moment.

"They told me it did take him a while to come around. "Oh boy, he was out unfortunately before he hit the turf." The Warriors eventually gave a positive update that the Kiwi international was conscious, but it was a scary sight to see him taken from the field on the back of a medi-cab.

The Warriors have been crushed 70-10 by the Storm a record breaking loss in Melbourne. Warriors defeated. Warriors players look on following the heavy ...

Injuries to Warriors players Josh Curran (knee) and Dallin Watene-Zelezniak (head knock) will be of concern for the side going forward, with both looking serious. Watene-Zelezniak's head collided with the knee of Nelson Asofa-Solomona in a horrific collision, the star winger requiring a stretcher to leave the field. Melbourne wing Xavier Coates scored four tries in the romp, securing the Storm their biggest win over the Warriors, as well as the most points they have scored at home.
