Show Preview
The in-form Melbourne Storm head to Gosford to take on the New Zealand Warriors at their home away from home. Join The Roar for live scores this Sunday afternoon from 2pm (AEST).
They might not be top of the ladder or premiership favourites, but the Storm’s premiership defence is thus far going swimmingly. They’ve won ten in a row since a sluggish, by their standards, start to the season, and remain the NRL’s benchmark for consistent excellence.
They’ve continued their winning ways despite a string of injuries, with Ryan Papenhuyzen, Cam Munster and Harry Grant, among others, all missing plenty of footy in 2021. The names are starting to trickle back, though: Munster and Grant will both return to take on the Warriors, though the latter will work his way back from the bench.
Origin appears to have been kind to the Storm, with Josh Addo-Carr, Felise Kaufusi and Christian Welch joining Grant and Munster in being named for their second match in four days. Craig Bellamy is no stranger to a late change, however, so keep your eyes on the team sheets for any scratchings.
The Warriors are well and truly in the hunt for finals, and an upset win today could do wonders for their confidence ahead of the second half of the year. Last week’s bye will have done them the world of good, having won just one of their last four matches. Their most recent game saw the Cowboys and Valentine Holmes break their hearts with a last-gasp field goal.
Young sensation Reece Walsh will miss through suspension, making the Warriors’ task all the tougher. Captain Roger Tuivasa-Sheck will return to his customary fullback role in his place. Interestingly, Nathan Brown has elected to name gun prop Addin Fonua-Blake in the reserves for his first game since a knee injury back in Round 4.
