• Canberra win final game of weekend in Brisbane in golden point
• Earlier Melbourne one-pointer chalked off due to preceding penalty

Melbourne Storm coach Craig Bellamy has cursed his team's ill-discipline after they gave away three late penalties to lose the final match of NRL Magic Round in golden point to Canberra 20-18, in a game that saw a crucial field goal kicked and then called back.

The Victorians were cruising towards victory after Storm fullback Ryan Papenhuyzen slotted a one-pointer that appeared to put his side up by seven with five minutes to go.
