Craig Bellamy has pitchforked Kiwi international Kenny Bromwich into hooker as the Storm head into Magic Round short three rep stars, while Josh Hodgson returns after giving up Canberra s club captaincy and the Tigers rejig their spine as well.
Both Melbourne and the Maroons will sweat what are hoped to only be two-week injuries to Cameron Munster (foot sprain) and Harry Grant (hamstring), who will join Brandon Smith (suspension) in the stands for the Storm s clash with St George Illawarra.
Melbourne have indicated a best-case scenario for Munster and Grant is for them to return in round 12 for a final hit-out before Origin teams are named for game one on June 9, but any setbacks in their recovery could have the annual Queensland injury crisis already in play.
Wests Tigers utility Moses Mbye admits he was as surprised as anyone when asked to play five-eighth in place of Adam Doueihi as part of a selection shake-up ahead of Friday night s match against Newcastle.
Mbye will wear the No.6 jersey and Doueihi will shift to right centre as Tigers coach Michael Maguire tries to find a winning formula following last weekend s 34-28 loss to Gold Coast at Campbelltown Stadium.
Rookie playmaker Jock Madden has been named to make his NRL debut on the interchange, while hooker Jacob Liddle replaces Jake Simpkin and winger Tommy Talau returns from suspension in place of Zac Cini.
