Team announcement: Preliminary Final v Panthers

Jahrome Hughes has been named in Melbourne Storm's run-on side to take on the Penrith Panthers in Friday's Preliminary Finals clash.

After missing last week's Semi-Final win over the Roosters, Hughes will rejoin the squad at halfback, with Tyran Wishart to make his impact off the bench.

The starting line-up remains otherwise unchanged, with Tom Eisenhuth, Nelson Asofa-Solomona and Tariq Sims rounding out the interchange.
