The Melbourne Storm will put their NRL season on the line a week earlier than they would have liked to, when they take on the Parramatta Eels in the second semi-final of the weekend on home soil. This is The Roar’s guide to live streaming the match online, or being able to watch it on TV around Australia.
Kick-off in the match is scheduled for 7:50pm (AEST), although maybe a couple of minutes later, on Saturday, September 21, with the Storm hosting the game in Melbourne at AAMI Park.
The Storm have hosting rights to the game by virtue of finishing the top four, however, they would have much prefered a week off. A loss to the Canberra Raiders last week though means the club have to use the second chance, and will not play any more games at home should they get past the Eels last week.
The Eels have been inconsistent, and at times poor on the road, but had a huge 58-0 victory over a struggling Brisbane Broncos outfit last weekend, so anything is possible for the confident men in blue and gold.
However, earlier in the season, the Storm did blow the Eels out of the water by 64 points to 10, so that will be in the back of the mind for both sides heading into this clash.
