Melbourne Storm's Nick Meaney has been announced as unavailable for their upcoming match against the North Queensland Cowboys this Saturday.
According to NewsWire, Meaney will sit out, with Siulagi Tuimalatu-Brown anticipated to take over his position on the wing, while Manaia Waitere will be added to the Storm's bench.
Last week, Meaney appeared to be in discomfort after taking a knee to the hip or ribs area from Brisbane Broncos player Grant Anderson while attempting to score a try.
As of now, the specifics surrounding his absence remain unclear.
Seeking redemption after a challenging loss to the Broncos during the grand final rematch on Friday, the Storm will make their way to North Queensland.
