Roosters (In: Paul Momirovski, Jaxson Paulo, Corey Allan Out: Joseph Manu, Billy Smith, Joseph Suaalii)
What We Like
Coming back into the team this week due to injuries, all eyes will be on Papua New Guinea international outside back Justin Olam. If the Storm advance to the preliminary final, Olam will need to produce a good showing to stay in the team otherwise he will be axed and end up out of the team.
Final Thought
The Melbourne Storm will head into the clash not only against a weakened Roosters side but will be looking to make up for their humiliating performance last week. Expect the Storm to get off to an amazing start and win the race to 20 points.

Warriors (In: Shaun Johnson Out: Freddy Lussick)
Knights (In: Adam Clune, Dylan Lucas Out: Jackson Hastings, Lachlan Fitzgibbon)
What We Like
It’s hard to see Dallin Watene-Zelezniak and Dominic Young cross the line for tries this weekend. The two wingers have been in outstanding form and will be looking to out-do each other. They have also been able to find the line with ease throughout the season.
Final Thought
Despite the Newcastle Knights being on a winning-streak, it seems as though it will come to an end this week. Competing against the Warriors, it’s hard to see them beating them in front of their fans and on their turf. However, a close game is expected between both sides and they should be able to produce a thriller in the favour of the Warriors.
