Test skipper Cameron Smith celebrated his 250th National Rugby League game by leading the Melbourne Storm to a crushing 38-6 win over Cronulla on Sunday. Backing up from Queensland's State of Origin 14-6 loss to NSW in midweek, Smith was one of the stars in his milestone game as the defending champions wrapped up the match by half-time with five unanswered tries for a 28-0 lead. Queensland Origin teammate, Cooper Cronk, was instrumental, with a hand in each of those tries as the Storm climbed to second spot, one point behind competition leaders South Sydney.

Former Australia international half-back Craig Gower has played his last match for London Broncos, the Super League announced Tuesday. The 35-year-old, who quit as Broncos captain last week, has been released from the 18 months remaining on his contract in order to return to Australia's NRL. It has been reported Gower has agreed a short-term deal with Newcastle Knights, where former Kangaroos boss Wayne Bennett now coaches, to provide cover for utility player Kurt Gidley and former Leeds hooker Danny Buderus.
