The Melbourne Storm have announced their team lineup for the upcoming clash against the Parramatta Eels at Suncorp Stadium for Magic Round, and there's some exciting news for fans.
Xavier Coates is set to make his return to the wing after being sidelined with a hamstring injury.
His performance will be closely monitored throughout the week to ensure he's ready to make a big impact on the field.
Grant Anderson, who impressed in his return to the wing in the last round, will retain his spot in the squad as part of the extended reserves.
Meanwhile, Sua Fa'alogo and Tyran Wishart will continue to hold down the fort at fullback and halfback, filling in for the sidelined Ryan Papenhuyzen and Jahrome Hughes.
