Melbourne Storm vs Canberra Raiders @ AAMI Park

[The Black Dot]

From Foxsports "Team tips: Despite featuring in Game II of State of Origin a few days earlier, Cameron Munster, Harry Grant and Trent Loiero are all expected to back up for this week’s match. Versatile playmaker Tyran Wishart (ankle) is also set to be available after a minor stint on the sidelines with injury, while outside backs Hugo Peel (knee), Marion Seve (triceps) and Nick Meaney (calf) are all expected to make their returns to the field over the next couple of weeks after Round 16."

It makes it interesting who keeps their position and who drops out ?

[Bullucked]

Do we have a position for Wishart?

[Stormszn]

Wishart is still better than Toelau. Straight swap there.

Great to have a Sunday arvo game but the Raiders are the most niggly, nagging team to play against. Really don’t like playing them.

Centre position seems cursed but at least Howard
Th is back. Hopefully origin reps are good to go

Interesting to see Lockyer Azile-Foliola in the mix. He's Victorian I believe. Can anyone tell me more about him?

Bloody love him …friends with his mum …being fast tracked through the grades …was playing Harold Matt’s sg ball last year sg ball and flegg this year currently playing nsw cup he is very strong and reminds me a lot of Harry

So bloody exciting seeing his name in the mix …Proberly won’t get near the nrl side this week but the expirence of being named is exciting for him

His mum is even more excited lol

[Mattpoet]

Look forward to seeing him get a game sometime soon then

Happy for the bloke but did Huen, KRS, Satrick or Hinchey do anything wrong to be overlooked?

Well I know KRS is injured he came off injured in our last cup game so assume he is out for a bit
I believe Stanley might be injured too but not sure
Angus and Gabe named in cup so who knows

I think naming Lockyer is just reward for him doing so good this year …not a chance he actually plays but good on him

[blazza18]

That team list is so stupid and it's made even worse because it has to be named before origin.

250th career game for Munster at storm to celebrate at home at AAMI park today. Congrats Cam! 7th storm player to do so, amongst the icons of the club. Irrespective of how we feel about his form earlier this year, hard to find any that don't love the larrakin as a bloke and wish him the best. Can't see any late withdrawals from the origin crew to miss the occasion. Will be interesting to see if any get a week off during or post origin given our ladder position, although Wish is very good cover to give them each a staggered week off, which may be the go. Post game 3 rd19 back up is a Sunday game in Melbourne, which means they probably back up again. That, and the fact the maroons probably get it done in a canter.

Our improved form since last time we played raiders and the way the club usually lifts for these milestone at home should see us get it done today. Raiders played their best game of the year against us and have otherwise been pretty miserable. The fear is they suddenly find their best as they seem to do against us and given how desperate they'll be. Strange looking for a huge game to secure blues 6. Kids a hell of a player. Another crucial almost must secure 2 points game with a very tough road trip to our arch rivals at Brookie next week with Foz to have them up off a loss and trying to stay in the top4 hunt.

Terrible. That was all on Hughes rushing in and short numbering Storm's right hand side.

[Papenhuyzen23]

Yep awful by JH, left Chan and Warbrick with no chance, terrible decision so early in the piece, better wake up.
