Team Announcement: Round 4 v Cowboys

Craig Bellamy has named his travelling squad for Saturday’s Round 4 fixture against the North Queensland Cowboys in Townsville.

The starting side features one change from Friday night’s clash with Brisbane, with Trent Loiero returning to the number 13 jersey following his return off the bench last week.

Sua Fa’alogo retains the fullback role after an electric start to the season, crossing for six tries from the opening three rounds.

The extended bench includes inclusions for prop Lazarus Vaalepu and outside back Manaia Waitere, who is in contention to make his Storm debut.

Saturday’s game kicks-off at 7:35pm (6:35pm QLD time).
