Sharing one in a piece in 2022, both teams will be eager to put their best foot forward in the latest edition of one of the current game’s best rivalries.
Round 8 v Warriors
When: Tuesday, April 25, 7pm
If you had to pick one NRL clash to watch in 2023, this would be it. The annual ANZAC Day clash between Storm and the Warriors at AAMI Park has quickly become an important tradition amongst the two Clubs.
Honouring the service men and women that have served, AAMI Park plays host to a special pre-game celebration with both teams vying for the honour of a win.
2022 saw Storm record a mammoth 70-10 win over the Warriors and Craig Bellamy’s side will be looking to replicate once again.
Round 18 v Panthers
When: Friday, June 30, 8pm
After missing out on a trip to Melbourne in 2022, the Storm and Panthers rivalry will be revived in Round 18.
Their final meeting last season saw the boys in purple pile on a 16-0 win over the reigning premiers. Storm have also won 29 of their last 41 meetings.
Round 24 v Raiders
When: Saturday, August 13, 2pm
Round 24 Storm will face the Canberra Raiders where the squad will be keen to re-write history after their Week 1 finals loss to the green machine at AAMI Park in the 2022 season.
With the away side boasting a strong recent record down south, Melbourne are sure to use this as a motivator to turn the tables at the end of the year.
