As well as some very well known names like Cameron Munster, Xavier Coates and Harry Grant, a group of talented players from Melbourne Storm’s Hostplus Cup affiliates will line up for the club against NZ Warriors in the Unite for Tonga trial match at Casey Fields.
Here’s a few details to help you get to know them.
They have all spent time with Storm over the current pre-season or, in the case of Sunshine Coast Falcons forward Patrice Siolo, last pre-season and get their chance to impress on the big stage.
We wish them the best of luck.
