Preview:

Round 17 of the NRL is already here, with the finals getting closer every week. The first game of the round is between the Melbourne Storm and Brisbane Broncos, kicking off on Friday night, 7.35pm at AAMI Park. There is a lot of history and rivalry between these two teams, and this could end up being a fiery encounter. One of the biggest hurdles for Brisbane to overcome will be their bad history in Melbourne, although to be fair, they have a lot of other things to worry about as well. The Storm should be able to win against what has been a disappointing Broncos side this year, although they will have to bounce back from recent losses in the last two weeks.

Melbourne Storm:
Billy Slater, Sisa Waqa, Will Chambers, Maurice Blair, Justin O’Neill, Brett Finch, Cooper Cronk, Jesse Bromwich, Cameron Smith (capt), Bryan Norrie, Kevin Proctor, Ryan Hoffman, Ryan Hinchcliffe.
