His team sit just behind Melbourne on the competition table, but Canberra hooker Josh Hodgson insist the Storm are still the club everyone wants to become.A week after knocking Cronulla from the top of the table, the Raiders will become just the second team in 30 years to take down league leaders in consecutive weeks if they can beat Melbourne on Monday.The Sydney Roosters are the only other team since 1986 that have defeated leaders in back-to-back weeks.In one of the most-anticipated clashes of the year, Canberra, winners of six straight, host the Storm, winners of seven straight, in a possible preview of a qualifying final.Another win for the Raiders would see them usurp the Storm as the hottest team in the NRL, but that still wont be enough for the Green Machine.Theyre very good at what they do and not only that, theyre very consistent. Thats something that were striving for, to be consistent every week, Hodgson said.Were not quite there yet, but were slowly and surely improving.In-form Hodgson also faces off against Australian captain and Dally M favourite Cameron Smith in a clash of the games premier hookers.Hodgson was just two points behind Smith, Storm halfback Cooper Cronk and Gold Coast forward Ryan James when voting went behind closed doors at the end of round 16.The English international laughed off the possibility of being in contention for one of the games highest honours, which has been taken out by backline stars for the past nine years.Smith was the last forward to claim the medal in 2006.My family used to tell me the standings, but I dont really worry too much about that, he said.I just worry about myself, churning out, working out and whatever I get off the back of that is a bonus.
