Craig Bellamy has made two changes for his side’s blockbuster clash against the Cowboys on Saturday night.
Ben Hampton and Tim Glasby come into the side to face the reigning premiers in Townsville.
Be at AAMI Park when we take on the Rabbitohs, Saturday 6 August, 7:30pm.
Glasby returns after six weeks out as a result of a shoulder injury while Hampton moves into the utility bench role he has occupied for most of the season after missing Storm’s last two matches.
Prop Matt White misses the match due to illness with Young Tonumaipea dropping off the interchange bench named on Tuesday.
22-year old front-rower Christian Welch will make his first starting side in his young NRL career after featuring off the interchange in his previous 20 first-grade appearances.
