Update: Injuries have forced an additional two changes to the Melbourne Storm squad for tomorrow’s NRL clash with South Sydney at Central Coast Stadium.

Ryan Papenhuyzen (mid-foot sprain) and Brandon Smith (ankle sprain) have been ruled out, joining Jahrome Hughes (back spasms) on the sideline.

Former Central Coast junior Nicho Hynes will make his NRL debut at fullback.

The NRL has granted Storm permission to add Billy Walters to the squad and he will join Tino Fa’asuamaleaui in the final 17 on the interchange bench.

Solomone Kata is the other omission from the squad of 21 named on Tuesday.

The run-on 17 will be announced one hour before kick-off tomorrow.

Original story follows:

Melbourne Storm head coach Craig Bellamy has named the same starting 13 that defeated the Broncos in round 20 in the run-on side to face the Rabbitohs at Central Coast Stadium on Sunday.

On the interchange bench, Tui Kamikamica replaces Christian Welch, who will miss the remainder of the season after suffering an ACL tear in last week's game in Brisbane.

Second-rower Joe Stimson will play his 50th NRL and Storm game on Sunday.
