Storm aim for seventh minor premiership; tough run ahead, but playoffs potential with Hughes returning.
The Raiders' shock loss to the Dragons has opened the door for the Storm to make a late run for a seventh minor premiership in club history.
With two games to come against the Broncos as well as clashes with the Panthers, Bulldogs and Roosters, the run home is certainly a tough one for the Storm but they know all about high-pressure games at the business end of the season.
If they can finish top four and then get star playmaker Jahrome Hughes back for the finals then the Storm loom as a major contender for the title.
