The first match of the NRL’s Saturday doubleheader begins at 4:10pm (AEST) on Saturday, September 9.

Parramatta secured an impressive win at AAMI Park in Round 18 this season, defeating the Storm 22-6 in their only encounter of the season.

These clubs have met four times in the finals, with Melbourne winning on all four occasions. The most recent – and most famous – encounter was the Storm’s now nulled 23-16 victory in the 2009 Grand Final.
