Storm:

Eliesa Katoa 13. Josh King 14. Bronson Garlick 15. Alec MacDonald 16. Tom Eisenhuth 17. Tariq Sims 18. Jordan Grant 19. Grant Anderson 20. Tyran Wishart 21. Jack Howarth 22. Jonah Pezet
Jahrome Hughes returns at the expense of Jonah Pezet. The storm are starting to find some rhythm, especially with Munster calling the shots and Harry Grant made some huge tackles last week.
Jahrome Hughes (suspension) returns which sees rookie sensation Jonah Pezet make way. Former Blues enforcer Tariq Sims replaces Grant Anderson on the bench.
Roosters:
1. Joseph Manu 2. Daniel Tupou 3. Joseph Suaalii 4. Drew Hutchison 5. Jaxson Paulo 6. Luke Keary 7. Sam Walker 8. Jared Waerea-Hargreaves 9. Brandon Smith 10. Lindsay Collins 11. Egan Butcher 12. Nat Butcher 13. Victor Radley 14. Jake Turpin 15. Terrell May 16. Corey Allan 17. Fletcher Baker 18. Naufahu Whyte 19. Paul Momirovski 20. Sandon Smith 21. Siua Wong 22. Ben Thomas
Referee. Ashley Klein
The Chooks have won each of its last night games, while the Storm have won five of the last six head to head match-ups. Joey Manu (suspension) returns and has won the race to replace James Tedesco (concussion) at fullback, despite Joseph Suaalii filling in when the Roosters skipper went down last week. Terrell May comes in for Naufahu Whyte on the bench.
PRDICTION.
The Storm have bounced back with two straight wins, including a brilliant triumph over Souths last week, while the Roosters are on a three-game winning run after conquering the Eels. The Storm proved last week that having Harry Grant and Cameron Munster is enough star power for them to overcome a good side. Toss of the coin, maybe the Storm at home. I think the Storm can win this but only just, so for me, as a gambler I will go Storm minus 0.5 points @ $1.76, or a better bet, I will go with the under dogs, Roosters plus 5.5 points @ $1.63
