Team List: Round 25 v Eels

Forwards Felise Kaufusi and Josh King will return to Melbourne Storm’s starting pack for the final round of the 2022 NRL regular season, when Storm face the Parramatta Eels at CommBank Stadium Thursday night. 

Reverting to the interchange after a period away from the first-grade side, Kaufusi made an impact in Round 24, coming off the bench for Craig Bellamy's side.  

Brandon Smith and Tui Kamikamica will move to the interchange bench after King was also named in the starting line-up. The remainder of Storm’s run-on side remains unchanged.

After suffering a syndesmosis in Friday night’s match-up, Tom Eisenhuth is out of action. Trent Loiero, Chris Lewis, Jordan Grant, Alec MacDonald, Cooper Johns, Jack Howarth and Young Tonumaipea round out the rest of an extended interchange bench. 

The opposing sides will both be vying to finish the regular season inside the top four.
