The Melbourne Storm will go  into Sundays NRL Grand Final against Cronulla as firm favourites.

The Storms pairing of veterans Cooper Cronk and Cameron Smith will be a major obstacle in the Sharks efforts to win that elusive first premiership.

Storm skipper Smith (pictured) says he’ll be working hard to put aside the distractions of the week to concentrate on winning the 2016 title over sentimental  favourites Cronulla.
