Storm v Roosters: Meaney in the frame; Sua'ali'i back from ban

The Sydney Roosters are out to keep their minor premiership hopes alive when they travel south to face the Storm on Saturday night. 

Melbourne are currently four points clear of the second-placed Panthers, with the Tricolours two points further back in third. 

The Storm claimed a gritty victory over the Roosters when the two sides faced off in Sydney in Round 7, Xavier Coates the difference as they prevailed 18-12. 

Trent Robinson's men have found their groove with ball in hand since that loss and they now boast the most potent attack in the competition. 

The Roosters won four matches in a row before last weekend's bye, scoring 136 points in the process. 

The trip to Melbourne will pose a new challenge, with the Storm losing just one game at home this season and riding a five-game winning streak of their own. Like the Roosters, they enjoyed a week off in Round 19. 

Coach Craig Bellamy hopes to welcome back Harry Grant after Wednesday night's State of Origin decider while Nick Meaney is also in line to return from a calf injury. 

The Roosters are also hoping their Origin players get through the game smoothly, with Lindsay Collins, Spencer Leniu and Angus Crichton featuring in the match at Suncorp Stadium.
