THE PREDICTION
Melbourne Storm have been brilliant for most of the campaign and they got their rewards last week by moving to the top of the ladder thanks to an 11th straight win. They have been superb with ball in hand during that winning streak, notching at least 40 points on eight occasions. That spells trouble for a Wests Tigers side that conceded that number of points against Parramatta Eels last week and despite showing signs of improvement of late, their lack of consistency and quality is likely to see them struggle once again here with the Storm able to win by at least 24 points.
