Match preview
Your Premiers take on title challengers South Sydney.
Both sides cruised to big wins in pre-season trials, with Storm dismissing the Knights 30-10 and Souths defeating the Dragons 48-16.
With Harry Grant sidelined by a medial ligament strain, Brandon Smith will start at hooker. Nelson Asofa-Solomona has been named at lock to cover for Dale Finucane, who faces six weeks out with a calf injury.
Rabbitohs' Coach Wayne Bennett has named a powerful squad. Apart from Liam Knight, who suffered a concussion during a training scrimmage, Bennett had pretty much a full roster to choose from.
Recruits Josh Mansour and Jacob Host have been named to start in their club debuts while Jai Arrow and Benji Marshall will come off the bench.
