Craig Bellamy has named his Melbourne Storm squad for Sunday's Round 19 game against the Gold Coast Titans at AAMI Park.

Following the Round 18 bye, Storm welcome back several key players for Sunday’s home game.

Jack Howarth (quad contusion) and Nick Meaney (hamstring) return in the centres, while Manaia Waitere has been named on the wing after recovering from an ankle injury. Waitere replaces Moses Leo, who is unavailable following his Round 17 concussion.

Queensland trio Cameron Munster, Harry Grant and Trent Loiero have all been named and are expected to back up after Wednesday's State of Origin in Brisbane.

In the forward pack, Alec MacDonald comes into the starting side at second-row, replacing the injured Ativalu Lisati (ankle).

The extended bench features new recruit Oryn Keeley following his mid-season arrival from the Dolphins, while Josiah Pahulu and halfback Hayden Watson have both been named for their potential Storm debuts.

Tickets for Sunday's game are available here.
