Melbourne Storm vs Cronulla Sharks Preview
Melbourne welcome Cronulla with revenge in their sights after falling just short in Round 11. Since that loss, the Storm have hit their stride, stringing together three consecutive wins and maintaining a perfect record at home in 2024.
The return of Xavier Coates adds more firepower to a Melbourne side already stacked with attacking threats. In contrast, the Sharks arrive in shaky form, coming off a demoralising collapse against Brisbane. Nicho Hynes and his teammates will need a rapid turnaround to trouble the hosts.
With momentum, home-ground dominance, and form on their side, the Storm look primed to pile more pressure on Cronulla and tighten their grip on a top-four spot.
