Live: Storm and Sharks clash in heavyweight NRL clash in Melbourne

Here’s how the two teams line up today.

One late switch for the Storm, big Nelson Asofa-Solomona will start the game and Stefano Utoikamanu goes to the bench.

In a game where firepower up front will be massive, I think that’s a clever move from Craig Bellamy.

A late change for the Sharks too, Daniel Atkinson has dropped back to 18th man and Billy Burns comes onto the bench.

Oregon Kaufusi will play after being a late withdrawal last week.

Hi folks and welcome to this week’s edition of ABC Sport Sunday NRL!

My name is Simon Smale, released from the rigours of the overnight cricket to bring you all the action from two matches at opposite ends of the table.

The Storm and Sharks kick us off in Melbourne, a match that could get heated at any moment in all honesty.

Both teams have premiership ambitions but are both far from in vintage form, the Sharks coming off a defeat and the Storm coming off a late rescue job.

Then, we head to cloudy Queensland for a clash between two of the most inconsistent and frustrating teams in the entire league, the Titans against the Cowboys.

I’ll bring you all the action from both games and am looking forward to sharing the afternoon with you.
