Melbourne Storm had a solid NRL season by their lofty standards last year. They finished first on the ladder, securing their fourth minor premiership. They then stumbled a little before making it to the preliminary finals, with the Roosters ending their premiership dreams for 2019.

Now, Melbourne are looking to keep up the good work and make it all the way to the grand final for the 2020 NRL season.

Will Chambers and Curtis Scott are out, but the squad stands strong with talented players like Cameron Smith, Cameron Munster and Ryan Papenhuyzen, to name a few. Long-time coach Craig Bellamy should have no trouble helping the team find the motivation to improve on its 2019 results.

Kayo Sports is one of the most accessible options currently available. With subscriptions starting at $25/month, the service gives users access to more than 50 sports. Not only that, but you can enjoy a 14-day free trial, a user-friendly interface and features like SplitView and Interactive Stats, meant to make sports streaming as fun as possible.

Check out our Kayo vs Foxtel guide for more information that will help you figure out which provider is a better fit for you.

Rugby league fans can also stream games with NRL Live Pass. The service is available for free to Telstra customers, but live streaming is limited to a seven-inch display size. In other words, you can't watch matches on the big screen.
