Roosters v Storm: King for a Night; X Marks the Milestone
The Roosters are just a win away from entering the top eight but face a challenging schedule that includes not only the Storm but also the Bulldogs and Manly.
Since their intense 2019 grand final showdown, the Roosters and Storm have met 14 times, with the Storm dominating with an 11-3 record in those matchups.
Despite a rare home loss to Manly last weekend that dropped them from second to third place, the Storm is on track for another top-four finish.
However, they are dealing with setbacks, including a two-game suspension for Nelson Asofa-Solomona and ongoing issues with Ryan Papenhuyzen's calf, which could hinder their performance.
Additionally, their points differential of +218 is significantly better than that of other teams in the competition, indicating their strong overall performance despite recent challenges.
