Thank you for joining us this evening as 11th-placed Storm play host to the second-placed Panthers in Melbourne.

While the Storm are well and truly out of finals contention, they do have an excellent record at AAMI Park against Penrith, having won nine of 10 matches, and are fresh from a bye weekend too.

The Panthers, having lost top spot on the ladder after back-to-back losses against the Roosters and the Warriors, will be desperate to stay in the hunt for the minor premiership and mark coach Ivan Cleary’s 500th game as an NRL coach with victory.

As formidable as the Storm invariably are at home, it’s difficult to see anything other than a comfortable Penrith win tonight.

Kick-off is at 7:50pm.
