Melbourne Storm vs Dolphins Preview
The Storm and the Dolphins have met twice previously and on both occasions the Storm won close affairs by margins of six or eight.
This is the first meeting between the two sides at AAMI Park but the line does seem very big considering the talent the Phins have.
Melbourne are unquestionably the better team but this line is very large for a game the desperate Dolphins can win.
The Storm have lost Grant Anderson, who has been one of the form wingers of the competition over the last two months.
The Dolphins have covered 14 of 23 as an underdog of six or more while they have covered seven of 11 off conceding 30-plus and this is a letdown spot for the Storm.
The plus is good value and the Dolphins can win.
Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow has 12 tries in 13 appearances this year, the Pap has scored in six straight against teams outside the Top 8, Will Warbrick has 10 tries in 19 games this year and has crossed in both matches against the Dolphins.
