Melbourne Storm vs New Zealand Warriors Anzac day 2013 NRL preview and tips

Second game in round seven and on Anzac Day, sees the unbeaten Melbourne Storm host the New Zealand Warriors.

Around their three champion play-makers – Cam Smith, Billy Slater and Cooper Cronk, Melbourne continue to produce disciplined, professional and effective performances and find themselves the only unbeaten team in the competition after six rounds.

Last week they faced their toughest test to date when coming up against South Sydney and they displayed all the facets of a champion side in recording a 17-10 win.

The Warriors have shown improvement each week but that wouldn’t be hard given their efforts in the first few rounds and registered their first win in round four over the Cowboys (20- 18).

Their last two matches, despite losing both (24-22 South Sydney and 20-16 Raiders) have been better again for mine but the face the toughest test in the NRL this week – Melbourne at home.

The Warriors do hold one of the better records of any club against the Storm in recent years and interestingly, only one match in the past six between the two clubs, has produced a total match score in excess of 34 points.

Tip: TOTAL MATCH POINTS UNDER 40.5 @ $1.90
