Melbourne Storm will play its first pre-season trial game under Friday night lights at Geelong's GMHBA Stadium, with seven players from last year's Grand Final side lining up for the clash against the Warriors.
Scott Drinkwater will pull on the number one jersey while Jahrome Hughes - who is also vying for the vacant starting fullback position - has been named on the interchange bench.
Both Hughes and Brandon Smith will be backing up after representing the New Zealand Maori team at last Friday's blockbuster All Stars match.
Sandor Earl will play his first trial for Storm after a number of injury setbacks.
Friday night’s 29-man squad includes five players from Storm’s Intrust Super Cup feeder clubs who will have the opportunity to play in Melbourne colours.
Nicho Hynes, Darryn Schonig and Daniel Dole play for the Sunshine Coast Falcons, while Curtis Dansey-Smaller and Tom Hughes are with Easts Tigers.
Two U20 Thunderbolts players will also enjoy a taste of the top grade, with Matt Stimson and Trent Toelau named on the extended bench.
All seven young players trained with the first-grade squad during the preseason.
Tickets are still available here.
Kick-off at 7.50pm.
