Preview:
The Melbourne Storm suffered their first loss of the season in sensational fashion last round and will be eager to bounce back when they host the struggling New Zealand Warriors at AAMI Park on Thursday night. Last weekend’s 21-20 loss to the Roosters would have been crushing for the Storm, but they only have themselves to blame as a sluggish first half saw them down by as many as 20 points. The Warriors had plenty of opportunities against the Cowboys in Auckland but failed to convert. Their completion rate of 68 per cent and 12 errors was their downfall as they fell 17-10. They face a trip to Melbourne without winger David Fusitu’a, but half back Blake Green is expected to return after missing two games. The Storm holds a dominant record over the Warriors and The Wolf sees no reason why that won’t continue on Thursday. The Warriors last beat the Storm back in 2015, losing six on the trot to the team in purple. They were hammered 50-10 on Anzac Day last year and while it won’t be that one-sided this time around, the Storm should get home with room to spare.
