The Storm are gearing up for a fiery clash with the Sharks in the finals, knowing that their long-time rivals are not to be underestimated.
The Sharks, feeling underrated in Sydney, are seen as a powerful force by the Storm down south.
After a convincing win over Manly, the Sharks are considered underdogs but have proven themselves against top-four teams like Melbourne and the Roosters this season.
With a strong away record and an aggressive playing style, the Sharks are poised to make a statement in the finals.
The Storm, led by general manager Frank Ponissi, are wary of the Sharks' capabilities and are not taking them lightly.
With memories of their previous defeat to the Sharks still fresh, the Storm are prepared for a tough battle.
As the Sharks bring their fearless attitude and siege mentality to the game, the Storm know they will have to be at the top of their game to come out on top.
In this high-stakes clash, both teams will be aiming to prove their worth and secure a spot in the next round of the finals with their eyes set on the ultimate prize.
