It will be a top of the table clash when the Melbourne Storm will be taking on St Illawarra Dragons tonight in Round 17 of NRL.
The Storm are sitting in the top four, but coach Craig Bellamy will be far from happy with the fact his side’s 77 handling errors are the most by any team in the NRL.
With the absence of so many Origin players, the spotlight will be on Cameron Smith to provide his usual leadership and poise, while the rest of the forward pack has to get a points decision over their rep‑weakened Dragons counterparts.
Meanwhile, Suliasi Vunivalu has been named in the starting line-up for the Storm.
The Dragons are currently leading the NRL points table with 26 points, the Rabbitohs are in second place with 24 points and the Storm are in third place with 22 points.
Tonight, the Dragons will play the Dragons at 9.50 while the Panthers will take on the Warriors at 9.50pm tomorrow.
