Preview:
The undefeated Storm take on the wooden spoon favourites in the biggest mismatch of the season so far. Melbourne is giving up a near three-try start to the Dogs, who grabbed their first win of the season a week ago against the Tigers. They have been dealt a cruel injury blow though, with Kieran Foran to miss several weeks with an ankle injury after arguably his best performance for the club a week ago. Former Newcastle Knight Jack Cogger will debut in blue and white in the six jersey. Melbourne has the luxury of going into this match unchanged, but will be wary of the Dogs, who have an impressive record against Melbourne. Canterbury has won its past three games at AAMI Park by 6, 24 and 2 points, so will be full of confidence heading down south. With that in mind, The Wolf looks at the big points start and can’t help but wonder if the Storm will be complacent, a bit like the Bunnies were against Gold Coast a week ago. Melbourne can be ruthless on their day, but The Wolf is taking a chance on the Dogs to keep it respectable.
