Melbourne Storm have confirmed their squad for Saturday’s Magic Round clash against the Parramatta Eels at Suncorp Stadium.

Craig Bellamy’s starting side features one change following Sunday’s 44-16 win over the Tigers, with Moses Leo returning on the right wing in place of Hugo Peel.

Peel sustained a knee medial ligament injury in Sunday's game and is expected to be sidelined for at least 6-8 weeks.

The bench includes Stanley Huen, who became Storm player #250 in Round 10, while recent debutant Preston Conn earns a call-up after strong form at NSW Cup level.

The extended reserves feature Josiah Pahulu, Manaia Waitere and Angus Hinchey.

Saturday’s game kicks-off at 7:45pm live on Channel 9 and Fox Sports.
