NRL try-scorers: David Fusitu'a returns to the top beside Josh Addo-Carr image

Round eleven of the 2018 NRL season reignited the old rivalry between the Melbourne Storm and Manly Sea Eagles, bringing back memories of the 'famous battle of Brookvale'.

The Sea Eagles' 20-point victory was marred by an ugly brawl in a match which saw four sin bins and the send-off of Storm centre Curtis Scott for throwing multiple punches at Manly's Dylan Walker.

Brisbane pulled off a late comeback thanks to stunning solo efforts from backs, James Roberts and Jamayne Isaako to knock over the Roosters 28-22.

While South Sydney were awarded a last-minute penalty to escape with a one-point win in Townsville over the Cowboys to continue their hot streak of five wins in six games.
