Melbourne Storm v Wests Tigers
Friday 31 July, 7:35pm
Leichhardt Oval

1. Cameron Munster
2. Marika Koroibete
3. William Chambers
4. Tohu Harris
5. Matt Duffie
6. Blake Green
7. Cooper Cronk
8. Jesse Bromwich
9. Cameron Smith (c)
10. Tim Glasby
11. Kevin Proctor
12. Kenny Bromwich
13. Ryan Hinchcliffe

14. Dale Finucane
15. Mahe Fonua
16. Nelson Asofa-Solomona
17. Christian Welch


For Tigers
No Tapau.
Farah returns.

For Storm
Mahe's 50th Storm game.
Cam's 200th as captain.

If our forwards can do their job, I see Koro tearing his old side a new one. Duffie I think will see some aerial action in attack. NAS to run like a wildman.

Storm 13+

Good opportunity to help our for & against. We will need it as we will likely be competing against Souths for 4th spot and they boosted their F/A last week in a big way.

I'm not confident for some reason. If we win it'll be a close one.

If sallymay says it will be close and she's worried...then there is nothing surer than the fact that we will be 60 on them.... :lol:

So Felise gets a bench spot, then starts, then is dropped, gets named 18th man, gets promoted to starting position.

NAS being out is a shame. Surprised Kenny Brom gets a start but with Harris in the backs its the only option I guess

How strange... Surely NAS isn't quite 100%? Only logical explanation.

If any change, maybe Welch for Kaufusi in a straight swap. Oh well...

Only thing I can think of is we didn't want to have NAS play 4 nrl games in a row at such a young age.

I am sick of Ray Hadley already.

"Koroibete's jumper has come up over his head." Yes that's because the Tiger pulled it over his head.

"That's Kaufusi he played the ball incorrectly."

"Cameron Smith goes high there."

Koroibete. The Tigers' greatest nightmare unfolding before their eyes.
Bang! Bang! He'll probably end up with 4.

Just turned it on, Sallymay is right to be nervous. I don't think we win too often at Leichardt.
