Yeah we still are not that side yet. Hopefully if we keep winning that changes somewhat.

Meaney out is a huge loss for us. He's been pathetic this season.

I can see our back row having a blinder and winning us the game. Love what Croker is doing and I see McKewen and Lucas getting put into open space and hitting hard in D!
Knights 36 - Storm 16!

Unless we are considerably improved compared to the last few games Melbourne will win fairly comfortably.
They've found some form and we haven't played anywhere near our best in over a month since we played the Bunnies.

At our best I think we flog them but we haven’t been playing our best lately mix that in with Hunts errors and shocking defence at times, I’d say Knights win 26-18

At our best, we win.
At our worst, we lose.
Anything in the middle and it depends on which Melbourne we face.
The Storm have some belief after last weeks win over Roosters. If we can put some early points on them, I think they capitulate and regress. If they start strong and get some points, I think their confidence will grow and will be tough to claw it back.
I think it’ll be a really good test. While a loss, won’t necessarily be the end of the world, I think a win would really give this team some confidence that they can go on with things this season.

I’m quietly confident we win this. Ponga will play better, can’t be as bad as the last game. Sharpe training in the halves, more settled spine. Hunt will be better for the run last week. Yes he’s not Bradman but will hold is own in defence. On that, I think the Storm will target that edge. But I think we can score some points also. Hunt in attack is great.
One of my doubts is the evening game though. How will we handle that. Hopefully not to much dew.

I put the last 3 weeks performances down to complacency due to the opposition. To be fair, they blew the Dragons off the park in 30 minutes, so they haven’t been all bad.
I don’t expect them to take the Storm lightly, especially since their attitude almost cost them against Parra. Hopefully that game was the wake up call they needed. Regardless, of the opposition, you still need to turn up with the right attitude
Hopefully they turn up switched on because I think it could be a great game and a good test for them. Beating Melbourne in Melbourne will be good for their confidence

Seems to be an ongoing issue with this side over the years. That’s what makes Penrith so good. They are the most consistent team by far, with high standards. Don’t know how you get that psychologically as a team and individually.
Defence wins games

There are no easy games in the NRL, particularly games in the evening on a wet, slippery track.

Melbourne are in form and they had such a poor start to the year that every game is must win for them, so a loss won't be the end of the world for us.
A win would be great, but I don't want us to go so hard we end up knocking the hell out of both squads and lose our next 3.

I didn’t watch there game last week but heard the Rooster were really poor.
