Melbourne Storm vs South Sydney Rabbitohs Preview
This looks like it will be one-way traffic with a Storm team finally getting an easy matchup against a Souths team that is conceding over 32 points per game.
It is hard to see anything outside of a comfortable Melbourne win here. Souths have never won in Melbourne in 18 starts and that wont change this week.
Most notably, Souths are riding a 13-game non-cover streak.
The Storm have covered 24 of 38 against teams outside of the Top 8 and this looks like a game they will really fire up the attack.
Katoa has three tries in his last threegames, Coates has three tries in his last five games, Papenhuyzen has 50 tries in 60 games as a starter and Warbrick is a matchup special against a Souths left-edge defence that has conceded 17 tries this year.
