Last year's grand finalists may be 11th and 15th entering the second-last round of the season but pride is a powerful motivator for two clubs who delivered one of the great deciders in 2025.
The Broncos returned to their exhilarating best to stun the Raiders last weekend while the Storm fought bravely before going down by eight points to Penrith.
With Jahrome Hughes back on deck and looking to finish a disappointing season on a high, the Storm will be keen to avenge a Round 3 loss to the Broncos.
