Melbourne Storm is set to welcome back Cameron Munster and Felise Kaufusi for the Sunday afternoon showdown with the Canberra Raiders at AAMI Park in Round 18 of the NRL.

Munster has been named pending his recovery from a bout of COVID which ruled him out of tomorrow night’s State of Origin decider for Queensland, while Kaufusi has returned from personal leave after spending time with his ill father in the United States.

With Munster in the No.6 role, Nick Meaney returns to the wing with Grant Anderson (elbow sprain) dropping out of the 22.

Kaufusi has been named in the starting pack, pushing Chris Lewis back to the extended bench. Lewis is also currently in isolation following a positive COVID test after the last-start loss to Cronulla.

Queensland Origin star Harry Grant takes over the No.9 jersey from Brandon Smith who has not been selected ahead of his judiciary appearance this evening.

Fullback Ryan Papenhuyzen will make his first appearance at home since the win against the Dragons in round nine.

Kick off is at 4pm following the unveiling of the Cameron Smith Stand at AAMI Park.
