Team News
Storm
It's a double milestone for Melbourne Storm with Kenny Bromwich reaching a milestone 200 games, becoming the 8th player in the purple jersey to do so. Nelson Asofa-Solomona will also celebrate as he clocks in his 150th NRL match.
The Storm starting line-up will go unchanged with the only alteration in the squad being on the interchange bench where Jordan Grant has been named to replace Tepai Moeroa, who suffered a suspected fractured shoulder in the win against Newcastle last weekend.

Dragons
Jack Bird has been named to return at five-eighth, shifting Talatau Amone to the bench in an otherwise unchanged line-up. Last week's super-sub, Jayden Sullivan, moves to 18th man.
