THE TEAM NEWS
MELBOURNE STORM
- Melbourne Storm secured their third win in-a-row as they got the better of Sydney Roosters last week and that takes their record for the season to 5-1.
- Craig Bellamy’s side have shown some real character to overcome setbacks so far this season and in a boost for the Storm, they now appear to have a settled 17 with no changes to last week’s team.
Starting 13: 1. Ryan Papenhuyzen 2. William Warbrick 3. Reimis Smith 4. Nick Meaney 5. Xavier Coates 6. Cameron Munster 7. Jahrome Hughes 8. Nelson Asofa-Solomona 9. Harry Grant 10. Josh King 11.

SOUTH SYDNEY RABBITOHS
- South Sydney Rabbitohs will come into this game on the back of their bye week with just one win to their name all season having gone down to Cronulla Sharks last time out.
- The Bunnies have been alarmingly poor to this point in the campaign but have received a boost here with Queensland forward Jai Arrow returning from injury.
Starting 13: 1. Jye Gray 2. Jacob Gagai 3. Jack Wighton 4. Isaiah Tass 5. Taane Milne 6. Cody Walker 7. Dean Hawkins 8. Shaquai Mitchell 9. Damien Cook 10. Thomas Burgess 11. Keaon Koloamatangi 12. Jacob Host 13. Cameron Murray Bench: 14. Peter Mamouzelos 15. Siliva Havili 16. Davvy Moale 17. Jai Arrow Reserves: 18. Michael Chee Kam 19. Izaac Tu'itupou Thompson 20. Tallis Duncan 21.

THE PREDICTION
Melbourne Storm made it five wins from six outings as they got the better of Sydney Roosters last week and will be confident of recording another victory as they host South Sydney Rabbitohs. The Bunnies come into this with a reverse of that record having won just once all season and to make matters worse, they have lost all 18 matches that they have played in Melbourne over the years. The form of the two teams suggests that run will not come to an end here with the Storm able to make it eight ANZAC Day victories in succession.
TIP: MELBOURNE STORM -12
