Melbourne headed into this season confident of going one better after going down to Penrith in last year's grand final.
The Storm squad has stayed pretty much exactly the same with the valuable addition of Stefano Utoikamanu to boost them up front.
If Ryan Papenhuyzen, Cameron Munster, Jahrome Hughes and Harry Grant can stay fit and healthy, the Victorian side will be difficult to stop as they seek their first premiership since 2020, with another top two finish secured.
The Sporting News takes a look at Melbourne's 2025 NRL draw below.
