Harry Grant suspended for two matches, impacting Storm's momentum after beating Bulldogs 20-14.
The imminent return of Jahrome Hughes has been soured by the suspension of Storm captain Harry Grant, who faces an enforced two-week break after Melbourne's hard-fought win over Canterbury.
The Storm moved four points clear of the third-placed Bulldogs on the back of the 20-14 victory in Melbourne, with Canberra in the box seat to claim the minor premiership after downing Penrith in golden point earlier on Friday.
On Saturday morning, skipper Grant was given a three-week suspension, reduced to two weeks with an early plea, for a shoulder charge on Canterbury's Harry Hayes.
