Team update: Round 26 v Titans

Craig Bellamy has confirmed Ryan Papenhuyzen will make his return to the Melbourne Storm line-up when they take on the Gold Coast Titans on Saturday afternoon.

After 405 days since his last AAMI Park appearance, Papenhuyzen will rejoin the squad from the interchange bench in front of what’s sure to be a proud home crowd.

Bronson Garlick, Tepai Moeroa and Tom Eisenhuth will line up alongside the 25-year-old on the bench, while Reimis Smith, Tariq Sims and Alec MacDonald drop away, competing in the Hostplus Cup finals over the weekend.
