Show Preview

Round 8 of the NRL season kicks off with a tantalising clash between the Melbourne Storm and Sydney Roosters. Join The Roar for live scores from 7:50pm (AEST).

No one has looked like toppling the Roosters since the competition restart, but if there’s a side capable of ending the Chooks’ run of five straight wins, it just might be the Melbourne Storm.

Craig Bellamy’s men haven’t been at their best in 2020, but last week’s demolition of the Warriors bodes poorly for the rest of the comp. The New Zealand side might be doing it tough this year, but Melbourne hitting the half-century is ominous regardless of their opponents.

Injuries have hit both these sides hard, particularly the Roosters. While a knee injury has ruled Storm five-eighth Cameron Munster out, the Roosters are without Sam Verrills and Victor Radley, both of whom tore their ACL last week and will miss the rest of the year.

That said, there are some handy inclusions for Sydney, too. James Tedesco is back at fullback, Jake Friend slots into the no.9 jersey and Josh Morris comes into the centres. Ryley Jacks replaces Munster in the Melbourne line-up.
