Manly Sea Eagles vs Melbourne Storm Preview

The Storm will be looking to add to their amazing 16-game winning streak on Saturday with the scalp of another genuine premiership contender.

If they weren’t already, Melbourne earned their spot as the rightful premiership favourite last week with a blowout win over Penrith, extending their record at Suncorp to 24 wins from 28 games.

Manly won’t be an easy out this week after stringing together three consecutive wins over the Dragons, Tigers, and Sharks, but it’s fair to say this a big step up in class for a side that is still vying for a top four spot.

Head to head, Melbourne has won their last three games over Manly and outscored them 84-30 during that time frame.

The current form of Tom Trbojevic is enough to keep this game close, while the fact Justin Olam has scored two hat-tricks against Manly makes for an interesting battle down he middle.

The current double-digit line is a little nerve-racking when you consider how well the Sea Eagles have been playing, but given the Storm have gone 16-3 at the line this year, I think we could see a sneaky backdoor cover late in the game.
