Team news
Storm: Representative forward Dale Finucane has been named on the bench to play his first match of the year after a calf injury but still needs to get through a few tests before game-day but fingers crossed , football operations coordinator Ryan Hoffman said.
Red-hot fullback Ryan Papenhuyzen (shoulder) is out of this week s squad with Nicho Hynes promoted from the interchange to take over in the No.1 jersey.
Trent Loiero, Dean Ieremia and Aaron Pene came out of the extended squad on Saturday and Chris Lewis was recalled to the reserves list.
The Storm have won their past 12 games at home venues.
Usually when a player decides to stay after being told they’re free to go, they’ll spend the rest of their time at that club rotting in reserve-grade footy. But Afoa instantly impressed new coach Nathan Brown, as well as recruitment and retention manager Peter O’Sullivan.
