The 2018 NRL grand final will take place between the Storm and the Roosters in what will likely be a tough, physical match. It will likely take a few inspired performances to separate the sides and these 10 players may well be the ones to stand up for their team.

Cooper Cronk has not been included due to his injury which may prevent him from taking part in the match.

7. Cameron Smith

Storm captain Cameron Smith may not be the fastest or most dynamic player but his ability to manage a match is crucial in big games. Smith is also an excellent defender and is clearly able to lead and inspire his team, making him one of the Storm’s best.
