Roosters Stat Attack: Blake Ferguson is averaging 197.9 running metres per game this season. While the big winger has a habit of coming up with the odd error, he has been phenomenal at doing the hard yards for the Tricolours on kick returns and the first few hit-ups to start the team's set. He infamously said he was leaving Cronulla for Canberra because he thought it would lead to a premiership. The Eels-bound veteran has a chance to collect a first premiership ring this Sunday.
Storm Stat Attack: Cameron Smith will add yet another record to his collection on Sunday when he breaks Darren Lockyer's record of 35 finals appearances. The evergreen hooker bettered his own record for most points in a season when he kicked five goals last Friday against Cronulla to make it 198 for 2018.
And another thing: These teams have faced each other only once this season - a 9-8 victory to the Storm at the Adelaide Oval in round 16. A predictable arm-wrestle, it was 2-2 at half-time and wasn't decided until Cameron Smith's clutch field goal two minutes from full-time.
