Friday, July 17, 6.00 PM, Round 10, Sunshine Coast Stadium, Sunshine Coast, Melbourne Storm take on Gold Coast Titans NRL Match Preview

Here comes the thunder, then the lightning, then Josh Addo-Carr scores a hat-trick, the score is Storm 30-2, is this the story of this game? The Titans have shown improvement beating the Broncos and also their most recent victory against the Warriors, this is just one of those games that the Melbourne Storm are supposed to win by at least 13 points, even the bookies have the Titans with a 19.5 point head start, but if recent form is anything to go off then the Titans should be competitive.
