The Sydney Roosters are set for an exciting challenge in the Preliminary Finals when they go up against the Minor Premiers in a do-or-die battle at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
While the Roosters will come into Saturday night with fresh legs, the Melbourne Storm roll through with some momentum after a big Semi Final win over the Eels.
The last time they played in the Finals was on the biggest stage in the NRL, and you can bet the intensity on this occasion will have a similar feel.
