For this week's edition of Friday Night Footy, we take a look at the last time we met the Melbourne Storm which was in an epic Preliminary Final at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
Being a Grand Final decider, it was bound to be a physical clash against the side the Tricolours faced in the previous year's Grand Final.
While a predicted neck-and-neck battle ensued, the Roosters reigned victorious on the night to set up a classic Grand Final against the Canberra Raiders.
