Craig Bellamy has made a number of changes to his side for Saturday night’s meeting with the Dragons in Wollongong.
18-year old halfback Brodie Croft will make his first-grade debut, Slade Griffin comes into the side for his first NRL appearance in three years while Ben Hampton makes his return from a calf injury sustained in Round 10.
First-grade regulars Cameron Munster, Blake Green and Tim Glasby will all miss the clash against Paul McGregor’s Dragons.
Be at AAMI Park when we take on the Tigers, Sunday 26 June, 4pm.
Green has been sidelined for another week with the calf injury that kept him out of Storm’s Round 14 clash with the Roosters, while Storm will also be without Munster (rolled ankle) and Glasby (shoulder).
Young Tonumaipea replaces Munster at fullback and will make his first appearance since ANZAC Day after being sidelined with a knee injury.
After being promoted into the Club’s leadership group at the beginning of 2016 and then leading his country New Zealand in May’s ANZAC Test, Jesse Bromwich will captain Melbourne Storm for the first time on Saturday night.
