THE TEAM NEWS

MELBOURNE STORM

• Melbourne Storm will be fresh for this contest after enjoying their bye last week and they will come into it on the back of a win as they got the better of New Zealand Warriors.
• The Storm had to fight back from a 12-point deficit to land that victory and will be confident they can build on that in this game in which Tom Eisenhuth will come back into the side.

SOUTH SYDNEY RABBITOHS

• South Sydney Rabbitohs were superb as they recorded a fourth successive victory, overcoming top of the ladder Brisbane Broncos last week.
• The Rabbits were excellent in that contest and will look to build on their recent run in this clash in what is looking like a settled team, although Davvy Moale drops out for Liam Knight who is back from injury.

Starting 13: L. Mitchell, Johnston, Tass, Graham, Milne, Walker, Ilias, Tatola, Cook, Sele, Chee Kam, Host, Murray – Interchanges: Cartwright, Arrow, Knight, Burgess – Reserves: Karapani, Taaffe, Suluka-Fifita, Lovett, Hawkins

THE PREDICTION

Melbourne Storm and South Sydney Rabbitohs do battle in what should be a humdinger of a matchup at Magic Round. The pair will both be right in the mix for a top four spot this season and will be eager to claim the bragging rights here. Souths are on a good run having won their last four and while they do not boast a good record against the Storm, their recent form suggests that they can prevail in this encounter.
