NRL premiers Melbourne Storm said it would be back to say thank you to the Border after training here during last year's COVID-enforced break and it's again the coronavirus which has brought the club back just nine months later.

The two finalists from last year will play at 4.45pm at the Albury Sportsground,under strict COVID conditions.
Reserve grade starts at 2.15pm.
