Craig Bellamy has named his extended squad for Sunday’s Round 16 game against the Canberra Raiders at AAMI Park.

Storm’s three State of Origin representatives Cameron Munster, Harry Grant and Trent Loiero have all been named and will be in contention to back up following Wednesday’s game.

Should he take the field on Sunday, Munster will play his 250th game for Melbourne Storm, becoming just the seventh player in Club history to reach the milestone.

Elsewhere, Joe Chan has been named to start in the centres, replacing Manaia Waitere (low grade ankle syndesmosis injury).

Jack Howarth has also been named and is expected to return after missing Round 14 with a quad contusion.

The bench includes a potential return for utility Tyran Wishart, while emerging hooker and Victorian product Lockyer-Azile Foliola has been named among the extended reserves.

Sunday’s game is Melbourne Storm’s Mental Health Round ‘Tackle Tough Together’ in partnership with AIA Australia and supported by Beyond Blue. Click here to find out more.
