THE TEAM NEWS

MELBOURNE STORM

  • Melbourne Storm were given a real scare by Gold Coast Titans last week but did enough to prevail by just two points to extend their winning run to five matches.
  • The Storm will aim to keep their run going on home soil where they boast a perfect record this season but have been forced into two changes in the spine with Jahrome Hughes and Ryan Papenhuyzen both ruled out.

Starting 13: 1. Sualauvi Faalogo 2. William Warbrick 3. Reimis Smith 4. Nick Meaney 5. Grant Anderson 6. Tyran Wishart 7. Cameron Munster 8. Christian Welch 9. Harry Grant 10. Josh King 11. Shawn Blore 12. Eliesa Katoa 13. Trent Loiero Bench: 14. Bronson Garlick 15. Joe Chan 16. Nelson Asofa-Solomona 17. Alec MacDonald Reserves: 18. Kane Bradley 19. Jack Howarth 20. Dean Ieremia 21. Chris Lewis 22. Tui Kamikamica

CRONULLA SHARKS

  • Cronulla Sharks remained at the top of the NRL ladder with their fifth straight win, seeing off St. George Illawarra Dragons last time out.
  • The Sharks will need to be better in this game if they are to keep their winning streak intact while they have been forced into a change here with Toby Rudolf dropping out with a knee injury so Royce Hunt receives a call-up.

Starting 13: 1. William Kennedy 2. Sione Katoa 3. Jesse Ramien 4. Kayal Iro 5. Ronaldo Mulitalo 6. Daniel Atkinson 7. Nicho Hynes 8. Thomas Hazelton 9. Blayke Brailey 10. Oregon Kaufusi 11. Briton Nikora 12. Teig Wilton 13. Cameron McInnes Bench: 14. Jack Williams 15. Siosifa Talakai 16. Royce Hunt 17. Braden Hamlin-Uele Reserves: 18. Tuku Hau Tapuha 19. Mawene Hiroti 20. Samuel Stonestreet 21. Kade Dykes 22. Billy Burns

THE PREDICTION

Both of these teams boast 7-1 records with the pair sitting in the top two spots on the ladder at the start of Round 10 and it should be an enthralling encounter at AAMI Park. They have both also won their last five matches which demonstrates how well-matched they are. Melbourne Storm have suffered some injury strife this week and that could impact their chances but they still have enough talent to get the job done on home soil.

TIP: MELBOURNE STORM TO WIN
