Late mail: Pre-season challenge vs Bulldogs

Melbourne Storm has confirmed its 28-man squad for its pre-season challenge match against the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs at Belmore Sports Ground tonight.

A slight reshuffle to the side originally named on Tuesday sees Bronson Garlick drop out of the squad, Tyran Wishart shifting to the starting nine position with young Storm Academy product and local Victorian Suliasi Prescott coming onto an extended interchange bench.

Storm Academy product Angus Hinchey drops out of the squad while fellow Academy member Coby Williamson makes his way into the starting side on the wing, with Tuipulotu Katoa shifting to the extended interchange bench.
