Incredibly, the Storm haven’t beaten Canterbury at AAMI Park since 2013 - but surely Craig Bellamy’s side are ready to snap that streak when the two sides clash at the venue on Sunday afternoon?
Canterbury have won their last three meetings at AAMI Park, but they are massive underdogs to extend that run on Sunday, with the Dogs fielding one of their most inexperienced sides in recent memory this season due to problems with their salary cap.
It was looking like it was going to be a long season for the current wooden spoon favourites after heavy defeats to the Warriors and Eels in the first two rounds, but Canterbury stepped up and registered an impressive first win of the season last week, beating the Tigers 22-6.
However, that win came at a cost, with Kieran Foran injuring his ankle and needing surgery that will keep him sidelined for up to three months. Jack Cogger has been named as his replacement in the halves alongside Lachlan Lewis.
There’s no such worries for Melbourne, who will field the same 17 players that cruised past the Panthers by a 32-2 scoreline in Bathurst last week.
That win followed earlier victories over Brisbane and Canberra, with the Storm conceding an average of just eight points per game across the first three rounds. Despite the retirement of Billy Slater, the Storm look as polished as ever, building their game around rock-solid defence and letting their attack flow off that.
As mentioned, the Bulldogs have a great record at AAMI Park, but with this team and Melbourne’s current form, I can’t see anything other than a comfortable win for the home side.
