Two of the NRL's preseason title favourites will face off on Thursday night, but both come into the game in very different places than they might have expected this early into the season.

The Broncos have been without star fullback Reece Walsh, but that didn't stop them from piling on in-state rivals the Cowboys, beating them 38-12.

The Storm will be coming off a bye, but their last game was a two-point loss to Newcastle, so can their fresh legs offset their lack of momentum in the first game of round 5?
