Melbourne Storm NRL Head Coach Craig Bellamy has named his side to take on Wests Tigers this Sunday, June 26 at AAMI Park for their Round 16 clash.
After a last-start defeat to the St. George-Illawarra Dragons on the weekend that saw a number of late changes, Bellamy has named a vastly different side for Sunday’s game, although several question marks remain about exactly what 17 will run out at AAMI Park on Sunday.
New Zealand international Jesse Bromwich has been named for the match, but could miss the fixture if found guilty of a Grade 1 Dangerous Throw at the Judiciary. Bromwich will front the Judiciary on Wednesday night at 6:00pm, entering a not guilty plea.
Fullback Cameron Munster and five-eighth Blake Green have also been named for the match, despite being late withdrawals from last Saturday's defeat to the Dragons.
State of Origin representatives Cameron Smith and Cooper Cronk have been named to back-up, with the duo likely to play given the five-day turnaround from Game II on Wednesday.
Given the question marks, though, Bellamy has named an extended seven-man interchange bench, with Matt White (18), Christian Welch (21) and Young Tonumaipea (22) included.
For Wests Tigers, Jason Taylor has named a similar lineup to the one that defeated South Sydney prior to last week’s bye, with Jordan Rankin coming on to the wing in replace of Josh Addo-Carr, who drops back to the Club’s Intrust Super Premiership team.
