The Melbourne Storm were well outplayed by Canterbury last week but are back at their AAMI Park fortress to take on the Gold Coast Titans. Join us for live scores and commentary from 2.00pm AEDT.
After being a late withdrawal last week, Storm captain Cameron Smith makes his return against an in-form Titans side that will certainly push Melbourne.
The Titans, with minimal fanfare, once again find themselves near the summit of the NRL ladder after a strong start to the season.
Three wins from four games is just what the doctor ordered for the Titans and they will prove troublesome foe for the Storm tonight.
While they are yet to play any scintillating football, the Titans are learning how to win ugly; such a trait will serve them well against the best teams in the NRL.
The Storm have to brace themselves for an arm wrestle tonight. The Titans pack has toiled hard this season and will prove no pushover.
If the enigmatic Dave Taylor can fire upfront, the Titans certainly possess the muscle in the forwards to really trouble Melbourne up the middle.
Albert Kelly is another player Melbourne will have to keep an eye on. Kelly’s play over the past few rounds has proved decisive in recent wins over Cronulla and Canberra, and his skill may once again prove key in leading the Titans to victory.
The Storm meanwhile should be expected to bounce back strongly tonight. Craig Bellamy would have had his troops working hard on the training paddock following last week’s heavy loss to the Bulldogs.
If Melbourne turn up and play their best football, their slick backline should once again guide them home. Anything less however and the Titans certainly possess the attitude and muscle upfront to cause the upset.
Storm by 6.
