Craig Bellamy has selected nearly a full-strength squad to face the North Queensland Cowboys in our final trial match at Casey Fields on Saturday.
The star-studded Melbourne Storm lineup includes skipper Cameron Smith, Origin stars Cameron Munster, Josh Addo-Carr, Felise Kaufusi and Dale Finucane, international reps Jesse and Kenny Bromwich and young gun Ryan Papenhuyzen.
Only three first-grade regulars will miss the match through injury - Brandon Smith (facial fracture), Christian Welch (knee rehab) and Nelson Asofa-Solomona (hamstring strain).
This will be the first time Storm has played a trial match in Melbourne’s south-east and will be Storm’s last hitout prior to the round one clash with Manly in Sydney.
Marion Seve and Justin Olam will continue as Storm’s first choice centre pairing as Bellamy looks to settle on his team to face the Sea Eagles.
Tickets for Saturday night’s game are selling fast but there are still tickets available here.
Kick off is at 5.30pm.
Storm squad members not selected in the 24-man squad will play with their Intrust Super Cup sides this weekend.
