Melbourne Storm has named its squad to face the Dolphins in Round 16 at Suncorp Stadium on Friday night.

In a big boost to Craig Bellamy's side, Ryan Papenhuyzen will make his return to the field on Friday night, with the star fullback named in the No.1 jersey.

Young gun Sua Fa'alogo will shift to the wing in place of Xavier Coates who will miss the clash due to Origin duties with the QLD Maroons.

In a further boost to Storm's outside back stocks, Will Warbrick will also make his return on the wing after missing the past two clashes with a hip flexor injury.

Bronson Garlick has been given the starting hooker role in place of Harry Grant who will also miss the clash due to Origin duties, with Jahrome Hughes set to captain the side.

Trent Loiero is named to start at lock, with the forward expected to be released from the extended QLD Maroons squad for the match.

Jack Howarth, Christian Welch, Nelson Asofa-Solomona and Joe Chan will make up the bench, with Reimis Smith named as 18th man.
