The Melbourne Storm and New Zealand Warriors meet in this Friday evening encounter with both sides looking to rectify last-start losses. Join The Roar from 6pm (AEST) for live scores of the match.
Despite performing far more admirably than many expected given their squad and travel burden, the Warriors made the shock decision to axe coach Stephen Kearney last weekend. It’s a decision which caught many off-guard, and club management will come under heavy scrutiny should results not improve in the coming weeks under interim Todd Payten.
Even so, getting the better of Melbourne will likely be beyond them. While Craig Bellamy’s men look a shadow of the side which has contended for NRL title after NRL title over the past decade and a half, they still have an impressive squad and will be smarting after last week’s loss to the Panthers.
Things don’t get any easier for the Warriors, with the Storm bringing back Jahrome Hughes and Josh Addo-Carr to the starting side for Ryley Jacks and Marion Seve. Add in the New Zealand club’s record at tonight’s venue – they haven’t won at Kogarah for some 17 years – and there’s not a lot in their favour for this encounter.
There is a bit of good news for the Warriors at least with Ken Maumalo back on the wing, and Chanel Harris-Tavita and Isaiah Papali’i named to start on the pine.
