Team announcement: Magic Round v Eels
Xavier Coates has been named to return to the Melbourne Storm wing as the Club prepare to take on the Parramatta Eels Sunday night for Magic Round.
Sidelined following a hamstring injury sustained in Round 8, Coates' performance will be reviewed throughout the week before he officially takes to the field at Suncorp Stadium.
After a solid performance returning to the wing in Round 10, Grant Anderson will remain in the squad in the extended reserves.
Sua Fa'alogo and Tyran Wishart will continue as fullback and halfback respectively in place of Ryan Papenhuyzen and Jahrome Hughes.
Youngster Jack Howarth will also continue his run in the purple jersey, joining Nelson Asofa-Solomona, Tui Kamikamica and Alec MacDonald on the interchange bench.
