The Storm can’t stop winning right now and are riding a four-game streak, while the Titans finally got on the board last week with a gutsy road victory.
Few gave the Gold Coast a chance of toppling the Warriors in Auckland on ANZAC Day, but a much-improved attacking performance and a courageous late goal line stand saw Des Hasler’s men secure the breakthrough result.
With David Fifita returning to close to top form and AJ Brimson starring at fullback, there’s finally some reason for optimism at the club in 2024.
The Storm meanwhile continued what has been business as usual over the past month, with a 54-20 drubbing of the Rabbitohs in which they were rarely troubled at AAMI Park.
The Storm have lost just once in their eight trips to the Gold Coast since 2013, but that defeat came last year as the Titans tipped them over 38-34 at the venue.
All up Melbourne have been dominant in these games, with wins over the Gold Coast in 20 of their 27 meetings.
