Sydney Roosters v Melbourne Storm
Friday, June 29, 7:55pm
Adelaide Oval

Both the Roosters and Storm find themselves just outside the Top 4 which makes this a crucial match in the City of Churches. The Roosters will be missing Boyd Cordner, Joseph Manu and Ryan Matterson, while Jared Waerea-Hargreaves has been named on an extended bench after the short turnaround from the Test match between England and New Zealand in Denver. Meanwhile, the Storm have named their Origin stars in Billy Slater, Will Chambers, Josh Addo-Carr, Cameron Munster and Felise Kaufusi to take their spots against the Roosters. However, keep an eye on team news as there could be late changes.
Recent FormThe Roosters are sixth on the ladder with a 10-5 record. They have won four straight and have posted 32 or more points in three of their last six. The Roosters have the best defence in the NRL while they rate sixth in scoring. Melbourne are the second best defensive team and fourth rated attacking side but sit fifth on the ladder with a 9-6 record. The Storm have won three straight and have conceded 16 or fewer in all three.

Final ThoughtsThe Wolf is happy to play the Storm here if all of their Origin stars do indeed back-up as listed on Tuesday. Melbourne have won four of the last five against the Roosters, and have the advantage of a fresh Cameron Smith after he announced his retirement from representative football before this year’s Origin series.
