Melbourne kept their incredible Round 1 winning streak alive against the reigning premiers Penrith last weekend and will now turn their attention to the New Zealand Warriors.
Andrew Webster's men were in control last week against Cronulla and raced into an early commanding lead, only to be shut down in the second half as the Sharks handed them a bitter defeat.
Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad remains sidelined for the visitors, while Wayde Egan and Kurt Capewell also picked up injury complaints in their opener.
Meanwhile, the Storm will have to do without talisman Cameron Munster once again with the five-eighth continuing to recover from a groin injury.
