Melbournestorm.com.au has reported that Xavier Coates and Jahrome Hughes will be making their return to the Melbourne Storm line-up for the upcoming match against the Canberra Raiders.
Coates, who missed Round 23 due to a hip injury, will be back on the field wearing the No.5 jersey.
Unfortunately, George Jennings will not be able to play as he recovers from a medial tear suffered in the previous clash.
Hughes will once again join the squad as the halfback for Round 24, and Jonah Pezet will return to the extended reserves.
The centres will be manned by Young Tonumaipea and Marion Seve, with Tonumaipea celebrating his 50th game for the Melbourne Storm, a feat achieved only by one other player from the southern states, Mahe Fonua.
The interchange bench will consist of Bronson Garlick, Eli Katoa, Tepai Moeroa, and Nelson Asofa-Solomona, while Reimis Smith will be in the reserves after participating in the Hostplus Cup last week.
This completes the 19-man line-up for the upcoming match.
