For this week's Power Rankings, I took into account bubble life and how that's going to affect teams. I was also a bit kinder in my assessment of a few sides because of how short the turnaround was to move to the Queensland hub. With seven rounds to go, we should get a better read this weekend. 1. Melbourne Storm (1) Just so professional. The trouble for Melbourne now is figuring out how to fit their best players in the top 17 when they're all fit. I called their game against the Knights and it was really good to watch. 2. Penrith Panthers (2) Expected them to struggle a little bit more with injuries. But they face the Broncos this week before playing the Storm - to all but decide the minor premiership - and the Roosters. The Panthers are tracking OK; they'll still finish in the top two and be a threat.
