Team announcement: Magic Round v Rabbitohs

Melbourne Storm has named an unchanged starting line-up for one of the highlight matches of NRL Magic Round this weekend – the Saturday night match-up with the South Sydney Rabbitohs at Suncorp Stadium.

The only alteration to the 17-man squad is on the bench where Tom Eisenhuth has been included with Tyran Wishart dropping back to 18th man.

Second-rower Eli Katoa has been officially cleared to play after coming from the field with a concussion in the ANZAC Day win against the Warriors.

Added to the extended bench for this weekend are Grant Anderson, Tepai Moeroa, Jordan Grant and Jonah Pezet.

Storm and South Sydney are meeting for the second time in the opening 10 rounds. In Sydney in round five, Storm emerged as 18-10 winners.

Tickets for Magic Round are available here.
