Team News

Storm

With Cameron Munster and Harry Grant both off on Maroons duty, the Storm squad is set for a couple of changes. Ryan Papenhuyzen will be all the better after making his NRL return after a hamstring injury saw him sidelined for 5 rounds.

Sharks

The Sharks will be without centre Siosifa Talakai after he held his spot in Brad Fittler's 17 for Origin Three. Connor Tracey has played five games at centre this year and looms as the likely replacement for Talakai.

Full teams to be announced at 4pm.

Last match-up moment

In our Round 6 match-up at AAMI Park, Justin Olam scored his second try of the evening from a stunning uninterrupted run off a scrum. 

Known for his defence-demolishing ways, will the centre do it again?
