Koroisau to lead Panthers attack against Storm

Api Koroisau will be the focal point in the Penrith Panthers attack when they will be looking to redeeming themselves ahead of their clash with Melbourne Storm this Friday at 9.55pm.

After going down in a thriller to Eels the Panthers credentials for a premiership will be further examined this Friday.

The Panthers will have to learn lessons after squandering a 10-0 lead against the undefeated Eels, while Melbourne looks dangerous having adjusted to the new six-again rule.

The Storm has been a bogey team for Penrith, beating them in 18 of their past 20 meetings dating back to 2006. The Panthers last trumped Melbourne in 2018.

Meanwhile Tui Kamikamica is out indefinitely with a back injury for Storm.

Cameron Smith who will turn 37 this Thursday, will prove that he’s still very much elite. Ryley Jacks is expected to remain at halfback

Panthers will take on the Panthers at 9:55 pm on Friday, while the Rabbitohs will face the Warriors at 8.00 pm. On Thursday the Knights will meet the Broncos at 9.50pm.
