Team List: Round 14 v Roosters

Front-rower Nelson Asofa-Solomona will make his return from a knee injury for Melbourne Storm in the Round 14 clash with the Sydney Roosters at the SCG on Saturday evening.

The Kiwi Test representative missed Storm’s last two matches and will take over from Tui Kamikamica in the starting pack.

Coach Craig Bellamy has named all four of the club’s Queensland State of Origin representatives – Xavier Coates, Cameron Munster, Felise Kaufusi and Harry Grant – in his run-on team, with a check to be made on their fitness on Thursday after the Game 1 clash with the Blues.

Grant was an absentee in the last-start win against Manly at AAMI Park after sustaining an adductor injury in training.

The new face on Storm’s extended bench is Sunshine Coast Falcons centre Grant Anderson who has joined the club on a short-term train and trial contract which began this week.

Tom Eisenhuth was unavailable for selection after suffering a hamstring injury at training.
