WINGER Eric Grothe has again succumbed to injury, and is out of the Parramatta side for the clash with Melbourne at Parramatta Stadium tonight. After missing last Friday night's match against St George Illawarra with a neck injury, Grothe has been ruled out of tonight's encounter with a knee problem. He will be replaced by Kiwi international Krisnan Inu. Melbourne hooker Cameron Smith passed a fitness test yesterday on his injured elbow and he will make his return. The Storm's listed 18th man, front-rower Jeff Lima, may still play.
Nathan Hindmarsh (sternum) has passed fit for the Eels. Eric Grothe and Joel Reddy are in doubt. The Storm will be 1-17, Jeff Lima will not play. Slater, Inglis, Smith, White and Cronk have all been cleared to play.
Grothe is gorn again, Inu comes in:

Arguably so due to the GF loss, however, I'd have to throw in the Broncos there, they were good enough to get the win over them in the GF, otherwise they would have met their fate at the hands of Storm each of the breach years.of course Parra was arguably the biggest victim (out of the NRL clubs that is) of the Storm's cheating ways, as they were eliminated by Melbourne in three of the past four years.
I take it the weather has flattened out the crowds this weekend?Good to see the place packed out...:sarcasm:
Brilliant...Archer says "you have got a lot to lose here" and Smith says 'we have not nothing to lose"...:lol:
