Despite numerous opportunities, the Storm is unable to overcome the Raiders’ defense.
The visitors informed Melbourne winger Will Warbrick about his spectacular try in the 20th minute, which resulted in some back-and-forth. This one is filled with a lot of emotion.
Two of the Storm’s most important players—Harry Grant and Ryan Papenhuyzen—will be absent from their game versus the Raiders.
Sua Fa’alogo will start at fullback in place of Papenhuyzen, who was sidelined due to bruising on his foot. Grant was rested following Origin Game II.
In addition to those two players, Cameron Munster is still out with a groin injury, which means Craig Bellamy is lacking a significant offensive threat.
After missing time due to a head knock, Tom Starling is back at hooker for the Raiders, and Ricky Stuart will also start a rookie.
In his maiden NRL game, Jordan Martin comes on as a substitute, and Nick Cotric is replaced by Albert Hopoate due to an ankle injury.
