Their last encounter, in Round 3 at AAMI Park, is remembered for the kerfuffle caused by Billy Skater leading out with his leg when taking a bomb, and being penalised and put on report for collecting Bulldogs prop David Klemmer in the neck with his boot.
The Storm, with Cooper Cronk in dominant form, led 22-6 in the 2012 grand final rematch only for the Bulldogs to put them on edge with two converted tries in the final nine minutes for a 22-18 scoreline.
