Eels v Storm: Moses out for season; Munster a chance

The Melbourne machine marched on last round, recording a strong 24-8 win against the Roosters in a clinical display to post their sixth consecutive victory. 

Despite their persistent injury setbacks this season, with forwards Nelson Asofa-Solomona (hamstring) and Christian Welch (back) were both withdrawn before the game, the Storm have managed to still find ways to win.

Try-scoring winger Grant Anderson was added to their casualty ward however after going down in the final seconds of the game at AAMI Park, but coach Craig Bellamy said he had hyper-extended his knee and the club were hopeful it was not a long-term injury.

In good news, Bellamy is likely to have the services of superstar half Cameron Munster for this week's game against the Eels, while Marion Seve and Young Tonumaipea are also a chance of making their return from injury.

The Storm may need to find another forward to face the Parramatta pack with Joe Chan facing a suspension after receiving a Grade 2 Careless High Tackle charge in his side's win over the Roosters. He will miss two games with an early guilty plea and three if he fights the charge and loses. 

The Eels had the bye last round, with their last game being the Round 19 loss against the Titans.

However, in a big blow for Parramatta, halfback Mitchell Moses is expected to be ruled out for the season after rupturing his biceps while playing for New South Wales as they claimed the series decider at Suncorp Stadium. After injuring his foot earlier in the year, Moses has only been able to feature for the Eels in eight games.

Fighting for their first win since Round 13, the Eels will be hoping to have some players return, with Junior Paulo, Ofahiki Ogden and Haze Dunster a chance of being fit for selection.
