Cameron Munster has been named to return to the Round 18 Melbourne Storm line-up as the squad prepare to take on reigning premiers, the Penrith Panthers, at Marvel Stadium.

The Friday night clash will see the five-eighth return after missing last weekend's win over Manly.

Tui Kamikamica also eyes a return to the squad from the interchange as he continues to monitor a calf complaint sustained in Round 16, with Tariq Sims remaining in the No.8.

The Fijian forward will be joined on the bench by Bronson Garlick, Alec MacDonald and Kane Bradley with utility Tyran Wishart stepping in as 18th man.

Missing from the Round 17 side, Tom Eisenhuth looks to re-join Melbourne on the extended reserves alongside Chris Lewis, Sua Fa'alogo and Pezet.
