Melbourne have secured a NRL preliminary finals berth with a pulsating 16-10 win at AAMI Park, forcing defending premiers North Queensland into a do-or-die clash next weekend with Brisbane.It was some revenge on Saturday night for the Storm, who last season were sent crashing out in their preliminary final against the Cowboys at the same venue.They will enjoy a week off, as North Queensland host the Broncos.Melbournes kicking game, including a 40-20 by skipper Cameron Smith, proved key, particularly in the dying stages.The minor premiers and the titleholders played out an absorbing battle with the teams locked at 6-6 at halftime.Smith broke the deadlock with a penalty goal in the 49th minute and then Storm centre Cheyse Blair made a crucial strip on Cowboys five-eighth Michael Morgan, with prop Jesse Bromwich burrowing over in the following set to make it 14-6.It looked like the home side would take control of the match but Morgan made amends soon after when he fired a ball to winger Kyle Feldt, who dived over in the corner.Johnathan Thurston failed to convert to leave the score at 14-10.That was extended by Smith with Feldt giving away a silly penalty as he tackled Blair.The Storm dominated early, throwing everything at their rivals.After 20 minutes, they had had 64 per cent of possession and 73 per cent of territory but couldnt crack the North Queensland defence until the 32nd minute.Winger Suliasi Vunivalu collected his 23rd try of the season when he pounced on a ball lost by Cowboys centre Kane Linnett.The flying Fijian turned on the jets to run 60 metres, burning off Thurston to touch down.However, the Cowboys then gained some momentum which paid off in the final minute of the half with a kick by Thurston ricocheting off a Storm player. It was scooped up by Lachlan Coote, who found Antonio Winterstein in the corner.Lining up on Friday night against the Broncos, who they beat in last years grand final, Cowboys coach Paul Green said his team were their own worst enemies during the second half.The Storm had 18 sets down on our tryline and we only had 10 for the game so, against a team like Melbourne, thats not going to win you the game, Green said.They were deserving winners.Melbourne coach Craig Bellamy said his team had taken their game to a new level in the past two weeks but would enjoy the week off ahead of their grand-final qualifier.He pinpointed a period midway through the first half when the Storm held the Cowboys out after having to make four line dropouts.That was defining for me as we didnt buckle and that sent a message, he said.I thought they were tremendous tonight and I felt like we controlled the game really well and to go to another prelim is a pat on the back for our players, Bellamy said.

Scarpe Nmd Nere Scontate TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Nick Saban wants his Alabama players to take a little break after a rugged stretch of games, so long as they dont get too comfortable.The top-ranked Crimson Tide polished off a third straight ranked opponent Saturday with a 33-14 victory over No. 9 Texas A&M in the defending national champions second Top 10 matchup in a row.The Tide (8-0, 5-0 Southeastern Conference) still have some tests ahead, but that was the stretch that seemed most likely to induce a stumble.I want the players to get some rest, relax and get healthy, but we cant be relieved, Saban said after the game. We cant be relieved that we won this game. Its a big difference in resting, relaxing and working to improve, and being relieved.Weve got lots of games against a lot of good teams coming up when we start back playing again that can have a tremendous impact on what kind of season that we have.Now the team gets an extra week to recuperate before visiting No. 19 LSU on Nov. 5. The regular-season finale against No. 15 Auburn also represents a potential challenge.Alabamas most pressing task now is to figure out how to replace injured safety Eddie Jackson. Saban said Jackson is out for the season with a fractured leg suffered on a fourth-quarter punt return against the Aggies, who came in as the only other SEC team without a loss.Jackson was a playmaker who already had returned two punts and an interception for touchdowns. The seniors backup is Hootie Jones, who has 16 tackles and three pass breakups.We all kind of took leadership roles in the secondary, cornerback Minkah Fitzpatrick said. But Eddie was the one who took over, so now its our turn to step up.It was aa tough blow at the end of a three-game stretch that Alabama navigated fairly easily, including road wins over Arkansas (49-30) and Tennessee (49-10).ddddddddddddOtherwise, the Tide emerged unscathed as the SECs lone unbeaten team while receiving all but one first-place vote in The Associated Press rankings .Texas A&M did challenge Alabama for nearly 45 minutes and even led midway through the third quarter, the deepest the Tide has trailed all season. Then Jalen Hurts hit Calvin Ridley for a 4-yard touchdown and defensive end Jonathan Allen scored on a 30-yard fumble return to grab control of the game.Challenge answered.It was the 12th touchdown Alabama has scored on either special teams or defense. That matches the number of TDs allowed by the Tides defense so far.Hurts is also directing an offense that leads the SEC and ranks seventh nationally in scoring, averaging 43.9 points per game.Alabama held Texas A&M and the leagues top rushing attack to 114 yards and no touchdowns on the ground. Quarterback Trevor Knight was sacked five times while Trayveon Williams gained only 23 yards on nine carries after coming in leading the SEC in rushing yards per game.But `Bama doesnt sound relieved to make it this far with a perfect record.We just know we had a lot of plays left out there to make, tight end O.J. Howard said. And we know theres a high standard for us and everybodys not really satisfied with this and theres a long season to go and weve just got to get better.---AP college football web site: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
