Melbourne Storm skipper Cameron Smith says the Storm barely worked on their offense in the lead-up to their Perth showdown against South Sydney.

And it worked a treat with the Victorian team coming away with a hard fought 14-6 win.

“It’s important given we’re heading into a hectic part of the season,” Smith.

“There wasn’t too much of a game plan this week. It was all about our defence.

“Tonight we wanted to defend our way to a win and I thought we did that really well.”

The Rabbitohs finished the game without half Adam Reynolds who was taken from the field suffering concussion.
