Team Announcement: Round 8 v Rabbitohs
Melbourne Storm have selected their starting line-up for the Club's annual ANZAC Day Round clash against new opponents the South Sydney Rabbitohs at AAMI Park this Thursday night.
Following a solid return last week, Nelson Asofa-Solomona has been named to back up his Round 7 performance in the forward pack as Tui Kamikamica continues to recover from a calf injury sustained in Round 6. Asofa-Solomona is no stranger to an ANZAC Day clash having won the Spirit of ANZAC medal in 2017 and appearing in the annual match every year since his debut.
Christian Welch reverts to the interchange bench alongside Tyran Wishart, Joe Chan and Alec MacDonald after a late switch last week saw the former Captain in last Thursday's starting line-up.
Jack Howarth will once again remain in the side as 18th man.
Secure your seat to the annual ANZAC Day clash, now!
