Melbourne Storm have named a young and exciting side to take on the top-of-the-table Dragons this Thursday night at AAMI Park.
With five players currently in Origin camp, Storm has the opportunity to once again show the strong depth of its playing list.
Justin Olam has been named on the wing, Young Tonumaipea at fullback while Ryley Jacks looks set to make his return to the side at five-eighth.
Four potential Storm debutants have also been named on an extended bench including new recruit Albert Vete who signed with the Club last week from the Warriors as well as Sandor Ear following his outstanding return from ACL surgery through feeder level.
