Preview:
A Grand Final rematch headlines round six when the Storm host the Roosters on Friday night. Both sides have picked up where they left off a season ago, with the Storm undefeated and the Roosters winning four on the trot. Melbourne’s 18-12 win against the Cowboys in round five was their fifth win from five starts, but Friday night’s match will be their sternest test of the season so far. The Roosters have blitzed the Broncos and Sharks in consecutive weeks, but will be wanting to stamp their premiership credentials with a win against their nearest rival. In team news, it’s just the one change for Melbourne as Suliasi Vunivalu returns on the wing replacing Sandor Earl. The premiers are strengthened with the return of Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, which shifts Zane Tetevano to lock. Hooker Jake Friend remains out, with Victor Radley the starting number nine. The 2018 Grand Final was surprisingly all one way traffic the Roosters way, but the clashes between the two sides prior to that have all been close. 1, 3 and 1 point margins decided their regular season matches in 2017 and 2018. In each of those matches, a field goal was kicked and The Wolf wouldn’t discount another one deciding this ripper round six match. Melbourne’s revenge factor is big in this one and at home, you’ll rarely get them at such a good price.
