Preview:
Canterbury sits two points clear of the cellar thanks to last week’s 22-16 win over the Titans.
Jayden Okunbor carried the Dogs for most of the game cashing in with a pair of tries, but it was a strong team effort from Dean Pay’s side to overcome sloppy errors, penalties, and most importantly, a lack of possession.
The Storm were on the right side of lady luck last week as they once again squeaked home against the Tigers. Melbourne have become a bit of a heart attack side this season, but fortunately, Will Chambers stepped up with a 77th try to see the Storm over the line last week.
This isn’t the most exciting Sunday matinee, but if it’s anything like their Round 4 meeting earlier this year, fans should be in for a real treat.
The Dogs were on the wrong side of the scoreboard that day losing 18-16, but they’ll take tremendous confidence into this game knowing Okunbor caused havoc in Melbourne’s back line.
With home-field advantage this time around, you can expect this game to be just as close. The Dogs have turned into the comeback kings of late storming back from a 16-0 deficit against the Titans last week. They pulled a similar stunt on Craig Bellamy’s side during their last meeting, so with a generous line on offer, back Canterbury to keep this close.
