Show Preview

The Melbourne Storm travel to Wollongong for the first time in four years to take on the St George Illawarra Dragons. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 7:35pm AEST.

The Dragons continue to show fight under Ryan Carr, but the wins continue to fade away for them. A victory for them would almost confirm that they will not finish the season holding the wooden spoon.

Zac Lomax returns to strengthen the backline. Francis Molo is back from concussion, which sees his brother Michael move to prop, Ben Murdoch-Masila demoted to the bench and Toby Couchman relegated to the reserves list.

The Storm showed that they are not out of premiership contention just yet following a 48-2 victory over the Raiders. Craig Bellamy has stuck with the same 17, but Will Warbrick could be a late inclusion as he is named on the reserves list.

Prediction

If the Storm want to remain in the NRL top four, they have to put up a huge statement away from home. They have more to play for than the Dragons. The Dragons will show some fight in front of their home fans, but it won’t be enough in a thriller. Storm by 6
