Bet Of The Day April 6 – read on below for our reasoning behind today’s best bet.

Key Points

Storm have won five of the last six meetings
Storm have seen a 1-12 margin in four of their last five games
Roosters have seen a 1-12 margin in their last four games
The last three meetings have been decided by a 1-12 margin
Munster and Hughes start for Storm for first time since Round 1
Tedesco out for Roosters

We’re off to the NRL for today’s best bet as the Storm and Roosters collide in a heavyweight showdown at AAMI Park.

Both teams have registered three wins for the season, but probably haven’t been at their best either, so they will each be eager to come away with a statement victory here.

The Storm haven’t been anywhere near their peak level to start the season, but we’re going to back them to edge this in a tight one.

One of the primary reasons for Melbourne’s sub-par form is that their halves haven’t played together since their Round 1 win over the Eels in golden point.

Cameron Munster dislocated his finger and missed the next couple of weeks, while after he returned, halfback Jahrome Hughes was suspended.

For the first time in five weeks, both Munster and Hughes will line up in the halves together, which should see Melbourne’s attack fire more effectively.

The Storm are coming off a great win on the road over the Rabbitohs and now return home for this game against the Roosters.

The Roosters have a big out for this game in James Tedesco, while they also haven’t been at their best to begin the season, even if they have managed to win three in a row since losing to the Dolphins.

The Roosters have seen a 1-12 margin in all four of their games this season, while the Storm have seen four of their five games decided by a 1-12 margin (14 vs Dogs in the one they didn’t).

With the last three meetings between the teams also seeing a 1-12 margin, all signs point to another close contest here. But, Melbourne have won five of the last six encounters, so with home ground advantage and the Munster/Hughes combination back, the hosts should have the slight advantage.
