THE PREDICTION
Melbourne Storm have yet to get going this season having lost two of their three games to date. They were on the end of a surprising loss to Gold Coast Titans last week and while they will have key man Cameron Munster back in the side this week, his return is countered by the loss to Jahrome Hughes to a ban. However, the Storm take on winless Wests Tigers here and despite showing some signs of improvement in the closing stages of their loss to Canterbury Bulldogs, they are unlikely to get off the mark for the campaign with the home side able to make it five successive wins against Wests.
