Melbourne Storm travel to Skilled Park for their clash with the Gold Coast Titans in great form; they lead the NRL having won four out of four of their fixtures this season. The home side sit three places below them after their winning start came to an end when they lost to North Queensland Cowboys last time out.

Aussie rugby league fans will be licking their lips at this mouthwatering tie and the game offers betting angles galore and intriguing match-ups all over the park. Key for the Titans will be Ashley Harrison who will make his 200th NRL appearance.
