The Storm is coming into this game after thumping the Cowboys last week, while the Tigers went down to Souths in a tough match which saw their finals hopes dashed. Having only lost one game from their past 12, Melbourne will be keen to continue their run of good form heading into the finals, whilst the Tigers players will be out to show coach Michael Maguire why they deserve to be in the club’s future plans.
