The opener for Round 21 is a crackerjack affair with the Storm needing to win to give themselves a shot at the minor premiership and the Roosters needing a victory to push their way back into the Top 8.

This is nice spot for the Storm, who have won 19 straight off a loss, covering 12 of those.

They have also dominated the Roosters in recent matchups. Melbourne have won the last six meetings and 11 of the last 12. The Storm have covered 12 of those matches and have won the last two by 16-plus. Melbourne have won the last four at Allianz, three by eight or more points.

The Roosters have covered just one of five as a home underdog and just five of 19 against Top 4 teams.

Melbourne are the play in this one.

Storm hooker Harry Grant has three tries in 11 games this season and was denied another last week after an off-the-ball elbow saw the try disallowed. The Roosters are vulnerable through the middle and Grant will be looking to make amends for last week’s match-costing penalty.
