Melbourne Storm has unveiled its squad for the upcoming Round 21 showdown against the Parramatta Eels, set to take place under the Friday night lights at Commbank Stadium.
After a standout performance in the Club's Magic Round victory over the Eels earlier in the season, fan-favorite Cameron Munster is on track to make a triumphant return from a nagging groin injury as he finds himself named in the extended reserves.
Grant Anderson, who faced a scare with a knee injury in the dying moments of last week's clash against the Roosters, has been given the green light to take his place on the wing in the starting lineup.
The towering presence of Nelson Asofa-Solomona and the gritty determination of Christian Welch make a welcome return to the starting lineup after sitting out of last week's match due to injuries.
Unfortunately, young gun Alec MacDonald will be sidelined for this matchup following a shoulder injury sustained in the previous round, paving the way for Lazarus Vaalepu to hold onto his spot on the interchange bench.
Joe Chan's absence from the clash comes as a result of him pleading guilty to a Dangerous Contact charge stemming from the Roosters game.
The Storm faithful are eagerly anticipating a fierce battle as the team looks to impose their dominance on the field and secure another important victory on their quest for glory in the Premiership race.
