Monday night NRL betting, Storm vs. Roosters try scorers

Allianz Stadium – Monday 1st June, 2015 at 7pm

TV: Fox Sports 1

Weather: Fine

THIS match couldn’t have been scripted any better, coming off the back of a tough origin encounter on Wednesday night.

Both sides have key players backing up, re-emphasising the importance of post-match recovery. Melbourne’s spine, consisting of Billy Slater, Cooper Cronk and Cameron Smith, along with centre Will Chambers all return to their positions. The Roosters also have a large chunk of their back-line returning on Monday, including halfback Mitchell Pearce, centre Michael Jennings and winger Daniel Tupou.

The Roosters and Storm are coming into this game on the back of two consecutive victories and both return from a bye round last week.

Trent Robinson’s Sydney Roosters are sixth on the NRL ladder with five wins and five losses for the season, while Craig Bellamy’s Melbourne Storm are sitting pretty in third position, having won seven of their 10 encounters.

The Storm currently lead the head-to-head battle between these two sides 15-13 and it’s important to note Melbourne’s horrible record of eight wins and 13 losses at Allianz Stadium.
