The Origin recovery game with the highest stakes. The Storm have all three of their Origin reps starting — Cameron Munster at five-eighth, Harry Grant at hooker, Trent Loiero at lock — as they look to kick-start their season. Emerging playmaker Keagan Russell-Smith sits as a reserve in case Munster drops out late. Shawn Blore is OUT (HIA from last Friday) and Alec MacDonald comes into the starting side.
The Roosters bring six Origin representatives named in the 17 — Tedesco, Radley, Robson, Toia, Collins and Walker — with the final fitness call to be made post-Wednesday. The big bonus is Billy Smith returning from a long knee absence on the wing in place of Daniel Tupou (calf, Magic Round loss). Cody Ramsey returns from concussion thanks to last week's bye. Radley's return from suspension shifts Connor Watson from lock to bench, where he provides utility cover.
Both sides are Origin-tired, so the call is class and depth. The Roosters have Daly Cherry-Evans steering at five-eighth alongside Sam Walker — a senior halves combination that handles tight, high-pressure travel games well. AAMI Park is a tough trip but the Roosters' overall talent edges this. Taking the −1.5 line at $1.85 over the ML at $1.75 for the price upgrade.
Storm: Origin reps Munster, Grant, Loiero all named to start. Shawn Blore OUT (HIA). MacDonald replaces Blore. Russell-Smith on reserves as backup half. Roosters: 6 Origin reps (Tedesco, Radley, Robson, Toia, Collins, Walker) named — fitness call post-Wednesday. Billy Smith RETURNS from knee on wing. Daniel Tupou OUT (calf). Cody Ramsey back from concussion. Radley back from suspension shifts Watson to bench.
