In terms of tips, I'll stay with my tip in the preview and back Penrith by 1. But the inclusion of Smith and Cronk is massive! Depends on their match fitness. Should be a great game.

Welcome to League Unlimited's live update of this clash between the Storm and Penrith! For the Storm, two MASSIVE inclusions, Smith and Cronk back up, with Harris to the second row and K. Bromwich to the bench. For the Panthers, young gun Nathan Cleary debuts with Peachey moving to the centres, Yeo to lock and Latu to bench.
