It’s a fair question, with the star number seven likely to be out for at least a month after his dislocated shoulder last week.
Tyran Wishart has been named at seven, a steady hand with which the Storm will steer their way into Eel-infested waters this week.
That will result in a slight change of tack from the Storm, broken down by ABC Sport’s Nick Campton right here.

Hello folks and welcome to the ABC Sport coverage of Thursday night football!
We’re heading on a virtual trip to Western Sydney stadium tonight as the resurgent Eels take on a Storm side that will welcome back two of their best in Ryan Papenhuyzen and Cam Munster.
You’d expect the Storm to win this if you’re looking at the table and that alone.
But context is everything and, after the Eels thrilling victory over the Broncos in Brisbane last week off the back of a sparkling Mitch Moses display, would you bet against them?
My name is Simon Smale and I’m on hand to talk you through all the action as it happens and am thrilled to be doing so.
Welcome to you all and I hope you enjoy Thursday night’s footballing offering.
