Former NRL player James Graham has suggested that the Melbourne Storm could employ some "dark arts" tactics to target injured Penrith Panthers players Nathan Cleary and Jarome Luai in their upcoming preliminary final showdown.
Cleary dislocated his finger during training but is expected to play in the game, while Luai has been out for several weeks with a dislocated shoulder.
The Panthers, who have had a week off, are considered heavy favorites against the Storm.
However, Graham believes that the Storm will try to unsettle the slick Penrith outfit by using unconventional tactics.
He stated on NRL 360, "The way Melbourne are playing at the moment, it is the only way they beat them.
The only way they beat them is by the dark arts of football."
