Melbourne Storm vs Sydney Roosters Preview

Preliminary finals matches have almost exclusively gone to the home team who enjoyed a week off in recent years and those teams have typically won very big with five of the last eight prelims won by 20-plus points. The team off the rest week has won 15 of 20. The scenario sets up perfectly for the Storm and the matchup only enhances confidence. The Storm are 10-1 in the last 11 against the Roosters with nine covers over that run. They have restricted the Chooks to 18 or fewer in the last 10 while topping that number in 10 of their last 11. Melbourne have covered 14 of 21 when a double digit favourite at AAMI while they are 18-9 against the number off scoring at least 36. The big knock on the Roosters in recent years has been their inability to perform against the Panthers and the Storm and not only do they lose, they don’t cover. The Roosters have covered just three of 17 against the duo. They have also covered just three of 10 getting a start of at least eight points and six of 20 off scoring 36-plus. This should be one-way traffic. Will Warbrick broke Rooster hearts last year with a try in the final minute to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. He has 32 tries in 47 appearances. Ryan Papenhuyzen has 57 tries in 72 NRL matches when starting. Jahrome Hughes has seven tries in his last 10 matches against the Tricolours.
