Melbourne Storm vs Wests Tigers Preview
The Storm moved into the top spot on the ladder last week with a blowout win over the Warriors, and they look very likely to remain there with another favourable game against the Tigers on Saturday.
Melbourne’s attack has been lethal during their 11-game winning streak, which does spell potential disaster for a Tigers team that just gave up 40 points to the Eels last Sunday.
Michael Maguire’s men were on the receiving end of a 50-22 blowout when these two sides met last September, and it wouldn’t be surprising if we see a similar margin unfold now that Adam Doueihi is set to miss a week following a head knock.
As for the Storm, things are only looking up with reinforcements like Kenny Bromwich and Nelson Asofa-Solomona returning to the side.
The Tigers haven’t been awful defensively this year, but the fact the Storm have put up 40 points or more in three of their last five games makes them impossible to back against.
With an equally impressive 7-0 record on the Sunshine Coast to their name, the Storm at the line seems a safe play.
