Head coach Craig Bellamy has announced an unchanged starting team to face the Eels in this Saturday night's Semi-Final at AAMI Park.

It will be a knockout clash for both teams, with the winner to play the Roosters in a Preliminary Final at the SCG the following week.

The additions to Storm's extended bench are Curtis Scott, Tom Eisenhuth, Brodie Croft and Tino Fa'Asuamaleaui.

Captain Cameron Smith requires two goals against the Eels to become the first player in finals history to kick 100 goals.

He requires another seven goals to break the all-time record for most goals in a season by a forward.

Former St George second-rower Harry Bath holds the record with 108, in 1958.

Smith is also closing in on Bath’s record for most points in a season by a forward. Bath’s 1958 total was 224 points. Smith’s 2019 tally stands at 212.
