Team Announcement: Qualifying Final
Melbourne Storm has named its squad to face the Cronulla Sharks for Saturday's Qualifying Final at AAMI Park.
Ryan Papenhuyzen has been named to start at fullback, pending he passes all fitness tests during the week.
Meanwhile fellow speedster Sua Fa'alogo is sidelined for 2-3 weeks with a hamstring strain he suffered midway through the Club's win over the Broncos in Round 27.
After successfully making his return from a hamstring injury in last week's win over the Broncos, Xavier Coates will once again line up on the wing in an otherwise unchanged starting side.
