THE TEAM NEWS
MELBOURNE STORM
- Melbourne Storm lost out in their top of the ladder clash with Cronulla Sharks last week as their five-game winning streak came to an end.
- The Storm struggled to cope with the absence of some key men and will once again be without halfback Jahrome Hughes for this encounter but do at least have Xavier Coates back on the wing.
Starting 13: 1. Sualauvi Faalogo 2. William Warbrick 3. Reimis Smith 4. Nick Meaney 5. Xavier Coates 6. Cameron Munster 7. Tyran Wishart 8. Christian Welch 9. Harry Grant 10. Josh King 11. Shawn Blore 12. Eliesa Katoa 13. Trent Loiero Bench: 14. Jack Howarth 15. Tui Kamikamica 16. Nelson Asofa-Solomona 17. Alec MacDonald Reserves: 18. Grant Anderson 19. Joe Chan 20. Bronson Garlick 21. Dean Ieremia 22. Chris Lewis
PARRAMATTA EELS
- Parramatta Eels suffered a third consecutive defeat and fifth loss in six as they went down to Brisbane Broncos last time out and their woes could well continue here.
- The Eels lacked quality without some important players in their side and Mitch Moses is still sidelined here despite hope he could return.
Starting 13: 1. Blaize Talagi 2. Maika Sivo 3. Viliami Penisini 4. Sean Russell 5. Bailey Simonsson 6. Daejarn Asi 7. Dylan Brown 8. Reagan Campbell-Gillard 9. Joey Lussick 10. Junior Paulo 11. Shaun Lane 12. Ryan Matterson 13. J'maine Hopgood Bench: 14. Bryce Cartwright 15. Makahesi Makatoa 16. Joe Ofahengaue 17. Kelma Tuilagi Reserves: 18. Brendan Hands 19. Morgan Harper 20. Ethan Sanders 21. Wiremu Greig 22. Luca Moretti
THE PREDICTION
Melbourne Storm were second best in their clash with Cronulla Sharks last week but can make an immediate return to winning ways as they aim to make it six victories in seven matches. They take on a struggling Parramatta Eels outfit who come into this with three straight losses to their name and with just one win in six, all signs point to a Storm success at Suncorp.
TIP: MELBOURNE STORM -6
