Melbourne Storm vs St. George Illawarra Dragons Preview

Melbourne Storm continues their push for the minor premiership with a home game against a struggling St George Illawarra Dragons. The Storm, leading the NRL by four points, have won their last seven matches, including a 32-14 victory over Parramatta. Jahrome Hughes and Will Warbrick stood out, while Cameron Munster returns to five-eighth, pushing Tyran Wishart back to the bench.

St George Illawarra, after their bye, suffered a heavy 46-10 loss to Penrith, showing vulnerability against top teams. Ben Hunt had a tough game, and their defense has repeatedly conceded over 40 points this season. Tyrell Sloan returns at fullback, and Ryan Couchman joins the bench in place of his suspended twin.

Melbourne has won five of the last six encounters, including a 38-28 win last year. With a 19.5-point spread, Melbourne is heavily favored, but St George Illawarra might at least manage to cover the margin.
