Melbourne Storm will look to get back onto the winner's list on Sunday when they return to AAMI Park in the NRL's Indigenous Round.
Storm host a rejuvenated Gold Coast Titans outfit who recorded their seventh victory of the 2015 season on Monday night against the Eels. Playmaker Aiden Sezer was instrumental in the win for the Gold Coast and is one player Craig Bellamy's side must nullify if they are to consolidate their position inside the NRL's top eight.
The Storm coach has named an unchanged line-up for Sunday's match-up opting for the same group who recorded strong back-to-back victories over the Panthers and Dragons in Round 19 and 20.

For the Titans, Neil Henry has named Captain Nate Myles to return after the Queensland Origin forward missed the Gold Coast's last start due to injury.
If the two meetings between these two clubs in 2014 are anything to go by then fans at AAMI Park will be in for a treat on Sunday. Storm and the Titans shared the honours last year with one win a piece in two highly entertaining encounters where the sides were just separated by two and four points respectively.
