Winger Ken Maumalo will have a target on his back when he lines up for his second consecutive match against the Melbourne Storm, but for different NRL clubs

Winger Ken Maumalo will have a target on his back when he lines up for his second consecutive match against the Melbourne Storm, but for different NRL clubs

18 June 2021 - article from www.rugbyleague.co.nz

Maumalo played his final match for the Warriors last weekend against the Storm, and will line-up against them for his new club Wests Tigers at Sunshine Coast Stadium tomorrow night.

Despite Melbourne posting a convincing 42-16 win over the Warriors, Maumalo proved a thorn in the Storm's side by scoring three tries.

He's only scored two hat-tricks in his NRL career but both have come against the Storm.

Melbourne coach Craig Bellamy says his team will be going all out to prevent a third.
