The Storm and Warriors will face off in a highly anticipated clash, despite the game being pulled forward in the 2025 season.
The Storm have been dominant in this rivalry since 2015 and are coming off a strong performance against Manly.
Halfback Jahrome Hughes' early return from injury has provided a significant boost to the Storm's attack, with him seamlessly combining with Munster, Grant, and Papenhuyzen.
The Warriors, on the other hand, have found their own star playmaker in Luke Metcalf, who has successfully transitioned from five-eighth to halfback and led his team to three consecutive victories.
nrl.com.au reports that the Storm will enter the match as favorites on their home turf, with their dazzling attacking display against Manly setting the stage for an exciting showdown.
This game, despite being played earlier in the season, is expected to hold the same significance for both teams as their previous Anzac Day encounters.
The intensity of this long-standing rivalry is sure to make this match a thrilling spectacle for fans of both teams.
