Graham 1,754 Report post Posted August 13 (edited) The first game of the round is an interesting one with two very competitive outfits facing off again. It’s Sydney Roosters v Melbourne Storm. Storm today are without two key players Cameron Smith and Cameron Munster. As a result Storm will have their work cut out here as Roosters start favourites. Here are the final team lists: Edited August 14 by Graham 1 Quote The Australian Rugby League Forum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Graham 1,754 Report post Posted August 13 Jerome Hughes over for the first try. Roosters were looking good before that. Suddenly Storm turned up the heat and Hughes created that try with close range magic. 4-0 Storm ktc Quote The Australian Rugby League Forum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Graham 1,754 Report post Posted August 13 Morning evening etc all. This looks like it will be a lively encounter. Storm have the better of it early on. Roosters look like they’re up for it too.

Graham 1,754 Report post Posted August 13 1 minute ago, Davo5 said: The Storm are outmuscling & outsmarting the Roosters Roosters made too many errors early on. Their key players do look likely to strike but their big men are struggling to give a consistent platform against a mobile and formidable set of Storm forwards. This hasn’t been the first half I expected. Quote The Australian Rugby League Forum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
