NRL Round 15 Preview - Knights v Storm @ McDonald Jones Stadium

Newcastle Knights v Melbourne Storm @ McDonald Jones Stadium
 
Preview - The Knights lock horns with the Storm on Saturday in Newcastle, with the home side looking to keep in touch with the Top 8. The Knights battled away last week, but lacked the class in key positions, in going down 18-10 to the Roosters at home. The Storm secured their 8th win of the season with a come-from-behind 32-16 victory over the Broncos, as they rediscovered some of their attacking mojo in the second half. 
 
Newcastle Knights’ Scouting Report - The Knights have lost Jamie Buhrer to a season-ending ACL injury. Luke Yates comes on to the interchange bench in the only change to the side that went down to the Roosters last Saturday.
 
Melbourne Storm Scouting Report - Champion fullback Billy Slater has been named to make his return from a hamstring injury. The Storm also welcome back both first choice centres, with Curtis Scott and Will Chambers back from suspension. Tim Glasby moves from lock to prop to replace Jesse Bromwich, who looks set to miss 4-6 weeks with a torn hamstring. Kenny Bromwich comes into the starting side at lock.
 
Verdict - Storm by 13+ 

Hard to see anything other than a victory for the Storm. They scored 32 points last week and that was without Slater, Scott and Chambers who all return this week. It might not be a typical Storm front running season, however with everyone back on the park I’m not convinced there is a side better, or more experienced, than them when it gets down to the big games at the end of the season.
