What Channel Is the Storm Game on Tonight
The Melbourne Storm, who play their home games at AAMI Park, have been one of the best sides in the NRL for close to two decades now, and are looking to add more silverware to their trophy cabinet in 2021. They have now booked their place in the finals and it's all about where they finish on the ladder.
Melbourne Storm team preview
Melbourne Storm led the rest of the NRL into a false sense of security early this season. With the loss of Cameron Smith to retirement looming over the squad, many questioned whether or not Storm could keep up with the pace in 2021. How would they manage without a man who had been instrumental to their success over the best part of 20 years?
Well, they have answered in an emphatic fashion. They have finished the regular season on top of the ladder and now head into the Finals as firm favourites. There are some pretty big games coming up over the next few weeks, but they certainly have the personnel to overcome the biggest test.
Nobody, seemingly, can ever right off coach Craig Bellamy and his men. The likes of Ryan Papenhuyzen and Cameron Munster have been bamboozling defences across the league all season, helping the Storm retain their attacking flair. They are one of three teams, including Penrith and the Rabbitohs, that have remained glued to the top of the ladder. But can they take that form into the knockout stages? It's highly likely!

Melbourne Storm Players
Wondering who are the best Melbourne Storm Players in the highly talented squad? We have picked some of the best players right here so you know who to look out for in the next Melbourne Storm game.
Tui Kamikamica
Tui Kamikamica is all about strength and power, dominating in the tackle and suffocating opposition attack. He has been in outstanding form this season, managing to get plenty of points for his side in the process.
Cameron Munster
Storm five-eighth Cameron Munster may seem like a veteran of the game, but at 26 years of age, he is still somewhat of a pup. In a decorated career so far he has won in two Grand Finals as well as being on the losing side twice. He has also represented Queensland 13 times in State Of Origin.
Tom Eisenhuth
Moving from Penrith Panters to Storm in 2019 has proved to be a successful transition for Tom Eisenhuth, who won the Telstra Premiership in his second season with the team. The prop has been in formidable form again this year and will want to make it back to back title wins, with both potentially coming against his former club.
Ryan Papenhuyzen
What a way to burst onto the scene! Ryan Papenhuyzen may have been with Storm since 2019, but it is only really this term where he has properly found his feet. The fullback has been outstanding since game one, and at the tender age of 23 looks like being one of the Storm's next batch of superstars.
Melbourne Storm Premierships
Melbourne Storm are one of the modern eras most successful NRL teams, thanks in large part to Cameron Smith, Cooper Cronk and Billy Slater days. During this period they won in 1999, 2012, 2017 and 2020. They have also made a bag full of losing Grand Final appearances. Storm would have even more Grand Final wins to their name if it wasn't for a salary cap breach that saw them stripped of their crowns in 2007 and 2009.
Melbourne Storm Stadium
AAMI Park is a super stadium located on Melbourne's Edwin Flack Field. It has a capacity of 30,000 and has become a fortress for Storm over the years. Melbourne plays all their Telstra Premiership matches here and have a whole State behind them when the opposition is in town. As well as Rugby League, AAMI Park is home to teams from the world of Soccer and Rugby Union.
However, due to Covid coming back to Victoria, Storm is playing all their NRL home fixtures at the Suncorp Stadium. Suncorp Stadium has also become something of a fortress for the Melbourne side, allowing them to continue their impressive form into the final rounds.
