Jessie has been an amazing player for the Storm, he is really under-rated. It's no secret that when Jessie plays well; the Storm play well.

The people inside the Melbourne Storm know how important Jessie is. Super Cooper never won one. That's a shame.

Kind of fitting that he'll play against Brad Arthur's side for game 250

yes Brad Arthur was the Melbourne Storm development coach for 4 years and evidently was the person who discovered Jessie, legend has it that Jessie had just come down from Orange where he was playing country footy to Melbourne Storm training to watch Kenny train and Brad Arthur walked up to Jessie while he was watching and asked him if he wanted to join in?..and the rest as they say, is history.

Parramatta is WET, WET, WET tonight

Its expected. up to 30 mils of rain

I'm not sure who it favours? As Parra have big bodies eps their wingers.

I'm tipping a close game.

Someone find a wing that can contest the high ball. Please. That right side is shocking.

Parra Doesn't matter can have that win because that wasn't rugby, that was ping pong and a total bore fest to watch!!

At worst can we switch Jennings into the centre’s and have Reimis on the wing???

I know it wouldn't change the result but I really don't understand why Campbell-Gillard was allowed to dive on his own player for each of the last 4 tackles and slow the play the ball down like that.
