The Storm aims for the minor premiership after the Raiders' defeat, facing tough opponents ahead.
The Raiders' surprising defeat to the Dragons has created an opportunity for the Storm to aim for their seventh minor premiership.
Facing a challenging concluding schedule that includes two matches against the Broncos, along with games against the Panthers, Bulldogs, and Roosters, the Storm is aware of the intensity that comes with late-season competition.
Should they secure a spot in the top four and regain star playmaker Jahrome Hughes for the finals, the Storm could emerge as serious contenders for the championship.
