Despite losing a third successive game for the first time in his Melbourne career, halfback Jahrome Hughes says the Storm remain resolute that their NRL premiership ambitions are on track. Hughes will play his 100th NRL game when they face South Sydney, who have won their last three, on Saturday night at Accor Stadium. "It feels a bit weird - I don't think I've lost three in a row before and it's not a good feeling," Hughes said on Wednesday. "Hopefully we can turn it around, not just for my 100 games, but we need a win. "But the boys have been good, we're still very confident in ourselves and very confident and how we're looking to go into the finals. "It was a pretty rough patch, the Origin period, on top of our own injuries but now that it's all over ... we didn't get the win but we showed on the weekend, we can play good footy." "We don't mind flying under the radar so it's probably not a bad thing at the moment. "I think Craig will get little snippets from that and use it as motivation for us." "Every time we play, that's got him in there we need to watch out for him," he said of Mitchell, who missed 10 games with a hamstring injury. "They've got Cody Walker as well so they're a great attacking team, so we need to be on. "I thought our defence was a lot better on the weekend compared to the weeks before so but I think we're going need to step it up again because their attack is very lethal."
