How to watch Roosters vs Storm NRL live and match preview
The Roosters face a must win game to keep their finals hopes on track.
It's been a topsy-turvy NRL season, but this Roosters vs Storm clash will put 1 team on a good footing for the finals.
Both teams had last week off due to a bye, so with fresh legs they should bring plenty of energy, even if both clubs had Origin representatives on Wednesday night.

Roosters vs Storm match preview
The Roosters are part of 8 teams that sit between 6th and 13th and are only separated by 4 competition points.
It's this kind of traffic jam on the ladder that means results are becoming even more important with just 7 rounds remaining.
The Roosters will face only 1 team currently below them on the ladder in the run home, and will have no more byes to grab extra points.
Even when they've faced lower-ranked teams recently, like the Bulldogs and Knights, they've only managed tight wins.
In fact, things have been close of late for the Roosters, with 5 out of their last 6 games decided by 2 points or less.
Since the Roosters claimed the Grand Final against the Storm in 2018, they've only managed to beat them once.
The last time these 2 teams met in April, the Storm easily accounted for the Roosters.
Both teams have named their Origin stars to back up only a few days after the big game.
We think the Storm will win again and put the Roosters' final prospects on shaky ground.
