Hughes Replacement Revealed, Broncos Recall Star
Ryan Papenhuyzen will return to the field after over a month sidelined due to a calf injury.
He will play in a restructured Storm lineup, with Tyran Wishart stepping in for the injured Jahrome Hughes.
Reports suggest Hughes is likely to miss the remainder of the regular season after dislocating his left shoulder last week.
Storm coach Craig Bellamy has opted for Wishart to partner with Cameron Munster in the halves, leveraging Wishart's running skills.
In a shift in their lineup, young Jonah Pezet was initially considered for the halfback position but will now come off the bench.
Additionally, Tui Kamikamica will start at lock in place of Maroons representative Trent Loiero, who has been rested.
On the Broncos side, coach Michael Maguire has made significant adjustments following the team's unexpected loss to the Eels.
Selwyn Cobbo and Deine Mariner have been brought in to replace Jesse Arthars and Josiah Karapani on the wing.
Though Cobbo is set to join the Dolphins next year, he has a chance to secure a starting position for the finals after recently falling out of favor.
The Broncos are preparing to face a South Sydney team, which has included Jack Wighton ahead of his judiciary appearance.
Meanwhile, English player Lewis Dodd has been moved to the reserves but is anticipated to team up with Jamie Humphreys in the halves if Wighton is suspended.
