Melbourne Storm has confirmed its Round 14 squad for Friday’s game against the Newcastle Knights at AAMI Park.

Craig Bellamy’s side features one enforced change following last week’s win over the Sydney Roosters, with Nick Meaney sidelined with a moderate grade calf strain (4-6 weeks). Manaia Waitere comes into the starting team at centre.

In the forward pack, Cooper Clarke retains his spot at second-row.

The extended bench includes potential Storm debutant Josiah Pahulu and the return of Shawn Blore (concussion).

Friday’s game kicks-off at 6pm. Tickets available here.
