Melbourne winger Anthony Quinn says the fall-out from last week's fiery clash with Manly will have no impact on their quest for the NRL premiership.

As well as ending their run of 12 successive victories, a wild brawl at Brookvale Oval left three players suspended, including leading forward Adam Blair who was rubbed out for the season.

The Storm have the chance to get back on track on Sunday night when they meet the Sydney Roosters at the SFS, where they can claim the JJ Giltinan Shield as the competition's minor premiers.

"As a team we haven't been distracted at all," Quinn told AAP.

"Our mind's on this game ... we need to get a win leading into the semis.

"We try to put games to bed and concentrate on the week ahead and put the loss out of our minds."

He believed the NRL handled the matter the best way it could.

Quinn said the team felt for Blair, who was suspended for five games and after signing with Wests Tigers for 2012, has played his last game for the club.

But he believed it opened up an opportunity for another player to step up, with Atelea Vea brought into the squad.

Gun halfback Cooper Cronk is also back in the line-up after two games out with a foot injury.

The veteran winger, who became a dad to baby Summer late last month, said his side was "terrible" against the Sea Eagles.

"We only completed just over 50 per cent and Manly I don't think put a foot wrong and played a really good game.

"Although the scoreline doesn't show it, it was a pretty tight game."

The SFS is a happy hunting ground for the Roosters having won seven of their past 10 games there.

On the flip side Storm has won only three of their past 13 games at the venue.

Last year's grand finalists, the Roosters have found some late season form to string together their third win in a row with a golden point 13-12 win over Parramatta.

"They're going into their last game for the year and they're going to want to win at home," Quinn said.

"We're definitely expecting another very tough match and expect them to play very well."
