In the world of Rugby League, Melbourne Storm coach Craig Bellamy has pinpointed a key factor in his team's recent shock loss and is looking towards the future.

Bellamy is optimistic that his star players, Cameron Munster and Jahrome Hughes, will hit their stride after reuniting on the field for the first time in months.

After a tough away game against St George Illawarra, the Storm are gearing up to face South Sydney with hopes that their star-studded spine will improve with each game.

Munster, who has been sidelined with injuries, made a comeback in the No.6 jersey, while Hughes also returned after a spell on the sidelines.

Bellamy acknowledged that there were some communication issues among his key players in their recent loss, but he believes that with time they will iron out the kinks.

The coach is confident that Munster and Hughes will find their rhythm not only against South Sydney but in the lead up to the finals.

"It's all about getting on the same page," Bellamy said.

"With Munster being out for so long and Paps dealing with his own injuries, it's natural that there may be some hiccups.

But I have faith in these boys to come together and dominate the field."
