The Melbourne Storm are eager to bounce back as they prepare to host the Roosters this Saturday night.
After letting a halftime lead slip against the Bulldogs last week, Coach Craig Bellamy's team aims to avoid repeating that mistake.
Currently sitting in 15th place, the Storm find themselves in an unusual position during the State of Origin period and are keen to turn their fortunes around.
Fullback Sua Faalogo is expected to ignite the offense from the back, while winger Moses Leo looks to build on his scoring performance from last week.
In the forward pack, Stefano Utoikamanu will face a tough challenge against Roosters powerhouse Naufahu Whyte.
A standout Kiwi player, Utoikamanu has become one of the league's most formidable props and is crucial to his team's success this season.
On the other hand, Trent Robinson's Roosters are well-rested after their bye, having had two weeks to reflect on a Magic Round loss to the Cowboys.
