Biggest test of the year. We'll need to frustrate the hell out of them and have some more Ponga/Pearce magic to win this one. Wish we had Klemmer..

If we keep up our good completion rate (apart from the Souths game) of 85-90% and the refs don’t give them too many piggyback penalties, we will win.

If we can get this win it will be huge. It will set us up nicely with our next 3 at home against the Drongos, Warriors and Dogs.

I expect the ref whisperer (Smith) to be at his peak. There will no doubt be leg twists, chicken wings, grapples and a couple of crushers thrown in for good measure so an injury or 2 wouldnt surprise.

If we match them in wrestle we can give it a good shot. No Klemmer is a HUGE loss.

Its Melbourne. They are going to lay all over us with no punishment and get plenty of tackle 5 penalties up their end of the field.

I'll be happy if we just keep it tight and compete well. Storm will likely point out a few flaws we still have and will need to work on and it might be the difference. Would be amazing to win and I feel beating Melbourne will give us a bit more credibility to being title contenders.

This will give us a much better indication of how good our ruck defense is. We kept Cook quiet last week, but he was also tired after backing up from origin. Melbourne have some very crafty and quick players who will expose us if given the opportunity.

I'd think they'll ease him back in through NSW Cup but still pretty amazing to see Guerra back so early.

Nah surely Guerra is at best a week to week scenario? Nene McDonald started running this past week and his injury was far worse than Guerra's but still; would be an incredible effort to get back so soon.

King has a cork right? Must be a super bad cork. Don't mind either Saulo or JSaifiti. Both would be great off the bench for 15 minutes. Both big bodies.

JSaifiti has something to prove. His twin is in the Origin discussion while he nearly got cut for fighting. Hopefully we see an angry aggressive JSaifiti on the weekend.
