A dominant second-half display from Jahrome Hughes has inspired Melbourne to a 32-14 win over Newcastle.

After an indifferent opening 40 minutes from both Hughes and the Storm, the reigning Dally M Medallist quickly made the game his own after the break.

Hughes's four try assists - including a double to fill-in winger Kane Bradley - has assured Melbourne their place in the competition's top two heading into the home stretch of the regular season.
