The Melbourne Storm are set to take on the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks in Round 17 of the National Rugby League (NRL) season at AAMI Park in Melbourne.

The Storm have been in fine form this season as they have managed to take home nine wins from their opening 13 games. They are currently on a three-game winning run and are now looking to extend their winning run to four games when they face the Sharks in Round 17.

The Sharks have had a decent but very inconsistent season so far despite having managed to win eight games as they have also faced seven defeats. Regardless, they are currently sixth on the ladder heading into this round, and a win could see them rise higher up.

The Sporting News is on hand to bring you all the latest TV, scheduling and live streaming information ahead of this match.
