Melbourne Storm is on the cusp of skipping the World Club Series in England in favour of staying home to prepare for its 2017 NRL premiership assault.
The Herald Sun can reveal Storm officials will meet this week to finalise their position on whether or not to head to the UK in February alongside NRL premier Cronulla.
Under the current arrangement, Storm would take part in the NRL Auckland Nines pre-season tournament before travelling to play in the revamped WCS.
Storm would spend a fortnight in the UK to play just one game — against this year’s English Super League runner-up side — in the club’s final tune-up before the start of the new season in March.
