Storm in crisis. Parra by 8!!!

[I Bleed Maroon]

If Slater returns, Storm to have a Running Riot Halo style. If he doesn't, I could see an Eels upset but only narrowly. Depends on how fired up they are infront of their home crowd and how downcast the Storm Journeymen are from their 3 straight losses.

Storm by 12.

Parra stadium when we host Melbourne is always great, it's a great rivalry. Always have had good games

[kia ora storm]

Storm by 6 ... with no confidence.

[Earl]

sureley we can't lose 4 straight. (i said that last week about 3 though lol)

[Timmah]

No Slater IMO will mean an Eels upset.

[matrightyeh]

storm will have to win this one you would think

[Haynetrain]

We wouldn't even win this game if the mighty Jarryd Hayne was playing

Storm by 14

Storm have not lost 4 games in a row with Craig Bellamy as our coach. Don't expect it this week. With Kelly, Hayne and MoiMoi still recovering from his concussion (though is expected to play). However we have Slater, Duffie, Chambers and Nielsen injuried.

[Big Pete]

Going to be a very nervous game for Melbourne.

Storm, just.

[Lowdown]

I should feel confident.

However, I just don't.

Storm might just fall across the line on this one. Will all depend on whether Cooper Cronk finally wakes up from his Game III dream-like state and plays some decent footy.

He's been known to overplay his hand at crucial parts of seasons past (last year's final versus the warriors is a classic example). If he settles down, and finds his lost kicking boots it could be a long night for the Eels.

Loss of Slater, Chambers continues to hurt us bigtime and now Vave and our only real try-scoring option of late - Matt Duffie are both lost for an extended time.

Sika Manu is playing like he's already at Penrith. Kevin Proctor is playing like he wants to play for Penrith.

I hope they turn the corner on this one.

[Parra Pride]

Parra by plenty.

Storm by the biggest margin seen this year.

[Hutty1986]

Storm will win this 13+....surely
