Melbourne Storm captain Cameron Smith says hes flummoxed by South Sydneys diabolical NRL run but hes not about to start underestimating the Rabbitohs ahead of their Saturday night clash.The high-flying Storm host the stricken Souths, who havent won for two months, at AAMI Park.Its a streak that means the Rabbitohs will miss the finals for the first time in five years and Smith is as perplexed as anyone as to the root causes.I think everyone involved in the game has been surprised with the way theyve been playing, he said on Tuesday.Theyre a quality side.Ive got no idea whats going on inside their camp ... and its none of our business.Were going to prepare (like) theyre going to come down and play well.Sundays 54-4 loss to Canberra might have been South Sydneys nadir, while hours earlier the Storm became the first team to beat North Queensland in Townsville for a year.The contrasting form-lines suggest a belting is on the cards and Smith has warned the Storm are only going to lift their efforts from here on in.Smith and Queensland teammate Cooper Cronk are ramping up their training following the Origin period and are set on awakening an on-field partnership.Cooper and I have spoken to the coaches over the last week and were really looking forward to getting back with the squad now full-time, he said.Its been nearly two months since we trained regularly with the squad. That brings a lack of cohesion.Youve probably seen a little bit of that over the last couple of weeks with our attack.Melbourne are just a point behind league leaders Cronulla and have the minor premiership to play for but Smith insisted their focus was playing good football and not finishing top.Weve got a tough run home. Souths (13th) this week and Raiders (3rd). Then Manly (11th) who are in good form and then two of the big teams in the comp, Broncos (6th) and Cronulla (1st).Theres no goal on winning the minor premiership or anything like that.We need to be playing our best every week to win those matches and Cooper and I need to be playing well.

Confidence is building at North Melbourne regarding Jarrad Waites fitness as the key forward ramps up his bid to return in week one of the AFL finals.Waite has played just two games since round 12 because of a troublesome hip injury.The 33-year-old underwent surgery last month in a bid to be cherry ripe for finals.Waite was one of Norths best players in a season-opening win over Adelaide and would boost their hopes of upsetting the Crows in next Saturdays elimination final at Adelaide Oval.The Kangaroos will learn more about Waites fitness at training next week but the early signs are positive.Jarrad is pretty confident that hell be right, North ruckman Todd Goldstein told AAP.If we really needed him to, I think he said he might have been able to get up last week.So thats a good sign.Speedster Jed Anderson also expected Waite would prove his fitness next week.Hes had a good rehab after some minor hip surgery. Hes preparing himself to play, Anderson said.The boys are excited that were getting some boys back.Key defender Scott Thompson is set to return from injury against the Crows, while Ben Jacobs and Sam Wright will be racing the clock to prove their fitness for the elimination final.Waites return looms as the most challenging selection call that coach Brad Scott must make.ddddddddddddIt is unlikely big forwards Waite, Drew Petrie, Ben Brown and Majak Daw will feature in the same forward line.Thats up to the match committee. Theyve got two weeks to make those decisions, Brown said.Wed love to have Jarrad back.Majak has come in and done some really good things for us ... whatever team we go in with, we know weve got good depth.Vice-captain Jack Ziebell noted the pre-finals bye had come at a good time for Waite and plenty of other players at North.Its worked in our favour, Ziebell said.It gives everyone a chance to freshen up. A couple of the guys were a little bit sore.Eighth-placed North are fully expected to exit the finals in week one, having won just three of their past 13 games.Ziebell pointed to their September form in recent years as cause for confidence.Playing pretty deep into the last couple of years will hold us in really good stead, Ziebell said.The last couple of weeks weve shown some pretty good signs, weve improved.A new season starts in September and we understand where were at and where we need to improve.
