The Melbourne Storm are gearing up for a showdown in the preliminary final against the Sydney Roosters, and they are coming in as the clear favourites - it's a no-brainer, mate.
The Storm have dominated this season, winning the minor premiership with ease.
Despite some doubts floating around about their form, their ability to win games without breaking a sweat is what sets them apart.
With key players missing for most of the season, the Storm have still managed to maintain their dominance.
They showed their class by thrashing the Cronulla Sharks in the first week of the finals.
For the Roosters to have any chance of overcoming the Storm and making history, they will need to bring something special to the table.
They will need to show that they are made of tougher stuff and ready to take on the challenge in the heart of Victoria.
In this battle of the Titans, the Roosters will need to dig deep and bring their A-game to have any hope of toppling the mighty Storm.
The stage is set for a clash of epic proportions, and only time will tell if the Roosters can rise to the occasion and upset the odds.
