Sydney Roosters vs Melbourne Storm Preview

The Roosters sit comfortably inside the top four but know there’s still another level to their football after an unconvincing win over Parramatta. Errors and missed opportunities prevented them from putting the Eels away, though the return to Allianz Stadium offers a chance to build momentum.

Melbourne arrives without key playmakers Jahrome Hughes and Cameron Munster, placing even more responsibility on Harry Grant to spark the attack. Grant is capable of producing moments of brilliance, but the Roosters will back themselves to limit his influence and capitalise on the Storm’s disrupted spine. Their recent record against Melbourne adds another layer of intrigue to one of the round’s marquee clashes.
