The people who run the League Express have Melbourne to finish 10th









Not on this showing they won't and although at times it was really scrappy stuff from both teams the Mnaly attack was non existent which showed in the 57% completion rate (saying that Bradford today were at 63%).

The Kings raised knee incident was the correct call.

top 6 for the storm, maybe top 2 if they gell.

Storm looked decent for the first game of the season, but they don't have the luxury of a big squad with plenty of depth this year.

The big test for Melbourne this year is how they will cope when they start to lose players to injury. Can they win enough games with a fully fit squad to stay in the hunt when they do start to lose bodies?

their under 20s won the title 2 years back

theyll draft in an unknown player and hell do the job for them

if cronk, smith and slater stay fit they are one hell of a team

and beau champion missed the game on the weekend

i dont think they are much weaker than the team that was over the cap by 1 million

really rate them

Asking the likes of Lowe, Thompson and Norrie to play 20+ games a season is going to take its toll. They are not used to that kind of physical demand on a regular basis. I think that once they come up against a strong forward pack, they are going to struggle up front.
