Superstar duo Cameron Munster and Ryan Papenhuyzen are back on deck as the Storm head to CommBank Stadium to face the Eels.
Munster missed last week’s game to attend his father’s funeral, while Papenhuyzen returns from a calf injury that’s kept him out for the last month.

Their addition is timely given the Storm have lost halfback Jahrome Hughes to a shoulder injury. Coach Craig Bellamy has named the versatile Tyran Wishart in the No.7 jersey with Jonah Pezet joining the bench.
While the Storm are sitting comfortably in the top four they can’t take the Eels lightly — especially after they upset the Broncos last week.
The Eels are in a rebuild stage and there’s been some promising signs, especially since star half Mitchell Moses returned from injury.
Coach Jason Ryles has stuck with the same 17 in this important clash in which he goes up against his former mentor in Bellamy. However he did make one small change before kick-off with Luca Moretti to start at lock and Dylan Walker dropping back to the bench.
The Storm also made a switch to their park with Ativalu Lisati to start and Tui Kamikamica moving to the bench.
