Melbourne Storm has named an unchanged starting line-up as they attempt to secure a record 13-straight wins at AAMI Park when they face the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs on Friday night.

The only alteration to the 17-man squad is on the bench where Tepai Moeroa has been reinstated while Jack Howarth drops back to the extended reserves.

For the first time in 2024, Nelson Asofa-Solomona joins his teammates in contention for a spot in the first-grade side after notching up playing minutes with the North Sydney Bears in the Knock-On Effect NSW Cup competition.

Named as 18th man, forward Joe Chan will also look to make a comeback after undergoing surgery on a hand injury suffered in Round 2.
