Melbourne Storm's halfback, Jahrome Hughes, will be absent from the highly anticipated Semi-Final clash against the Roosters at AAMI Park on Friday night.
According to a report by melbournestorm.com.au, Hughes has been ruled out of the game due to calf tightness.
As a result, Tyran Wishart has been selected to take his place in the team, donning the purple jersey.
In addition to this change, Bronson Garlick has been promoted to the interchange bench, joining Tom Eisenhuth, Nelson Asofa-Solomona, and Tariq Sims.
However, Alec MacDonald and Su'a Fa'alogo have dropped from the initial squad that was announced on Tuesday.
This news comes as a blow for the Storm, as Hughes has been a key player for the team throughout the season.
Nonetheless, the Storm will have to adapt and make the necessary adjustments to their game plan in order to overcome the Roosters without Hughes' presence on the field.
The Semi-Final match promises to be a thrilling encounter, with both teams vying for a spot in the Grand Final.
The Storm will need to rely on the depth and skills of their squad to secure a victory in this crucial game.
