The upcoming clash between the Storm and the Cowboys at AAMI Park is heating up, particularly with its timing just two days before Billy Slater announces his squad for Origin Two.
The Storm, currently sitting fourth, boasts a strong lineup featuring Cameron Munster, Trent Loiero, Harry Grant, and Xavier Coates.
Meanwhile, Todd Payten's Cowboys have their own impressive collection of talent, including Jeremiah Nanai, Tom Dearden, Reuben Cotter, and Blues rake Reece Robson.
This match promises to showcase two of the league's most exciting attacking teams, driven by strong field positions established by players like Josh King and Stefano Utoikamanu for the Storm, alongside Jason Taumalolo and Jordan McLean for the Cowboys.
The Cowboys recently secured a thrilling victory over the Wests Tigers, pushing them to sixth place.
However, they face a significant challenge in this matchup, as they haven't played away from home since Round 9.
The long trek to Melbourne and the presence of a hostile crowd will test their abilities and resilience.
