Melbourne Storms

Storm eye off NRL defensive record

The Sydney Roosters were the first side in Australian rugby league history to secure six shutouts of opposition sides on their way to the 2013 NRL premiership.

Just after the halfway mark of this season, ladder leaders Melbourne have kept a side scoreless three times following their 46-0 thumping of the Roosters in round 14 at Allianz Stadium on Saturday night.

The Roosters claimed five regular season shutouts in 2013 and another in their 4-0 finals win over Manly.

That year the Roosters conceded just 325 points over 24 games, at an average of 13.5 points per game.

Storm sign Josh Addo-Carr

Addo-Carr will join the club at the end of the season in a deal that will see him wear the purple jersey until the end of 2019.

The 20-year-old winger has played four NRL games for the Tigers, scoring three tries and made his NRL debut against Storm in Round 7 of this season.

"I'd like to make it clear to our members and fans that Wests Tigers made a very competitive offer to retain Joshua for the next few years and while we're disappointed we wish him well," Wests Tigers CEO Justin Pascoe said.
