It’s a grand final rematch as the Penrith Panthers and Melbourne Storm do battle in a Thursday night blockbuster at the foot of the mountains. Stay up to date with their NRL clash with live scores on The Roar from 8:05pm (AEDT).
Penrith have started their quest for redemption in imperious fashion, brushing aside the Cowboys and Bulldogs in their opening two matches and not conceding a single point along the way. The challenge goes up several notches against the reigning premiers tonight, however, and they’ll need to do it without halfback Nathan Cleary – who misses tonight’s clash under the NRL’s concussion protocols.
The Storm have found the going a bit tougher. They looked sharp for most of their Round 1 win over South Sydney, but couldn’t get the job done against Parramatta last Thursday night in wet and wild conditions. They also enter this match with a big out after fullback Ryan Papenhuyzen was forced to withdraw with a neck injury.
Panthers fans need no reminding of the pain of last October’s loss, with their 17-game winning streak coming to an end against the Storm when it counted. These sides have split their last four meetings two apiece – alternating wins and losses – although, prior to that, Melbourne had won 17 of 18 against the Mountain Men.
