Captain Cam Smith will move to the halves for our top-four clash with the Roosters tonight.

Brandon Smith will start at hooker, with Ryley Jacks now starting on the bench.

Original story follows:

Head Coach Craig Bellamy has named his squad ahead of our top-four clash with the Roosters at Suncorp Stadium on Thursday night.

Ryley Jacks will pair with Jahrome Hughes in the halves, replacing Cameron Munster who suffered a grade 2 medial tear in round 7.

Fan fave Brandon Smith (aka Hectic Cheese) will line up for his 50th Storm/NRL game. In five appearances this year the Cheese has scored two tries and always brings electrifying impact off the bench.

Chris Lewis, Marion Seve, Albert Vete and Cooper Johns have been named on the extended bench.
