Craig Bellamy has named his squad for Friday’s clash with the Sydney Roosters at AAMI Park, a special milestone marking his 600th game as senior coach.<\/p>\n
Following last week\u2019s win over the Bulldogs, which secured a top two finish, the squad features several changes for Round 26.<\/p>\n
Front-rower Stefano Utoikamanu is set to celebrate a milestone of his own, making his 100th NRL appearance, having featured in 21 of 22 games for Storm this season.<\/p>\n
Nick Meaney and Xavier Coates are rested for Friday\u2019s clash, \u00a0with Kane Bradley and Siulagi Tuimalatu-Brown named to start on the wings.<\/p>\n
Marion Seve and Grant Anderson form the centre pairing, with Ryan Papenhuyzen at fullback.<\/p>\n
In the forwards, Bronson Garlick starts for the unavailable Harry Grant at hooker. Alec MacDonald earns a call-up at prop, while Shawn Blore returns to partner Joe Chan at second row.<\/p>\n
The interchange bench features Jonah Pezet, Ativalu Lisati, Lazarus Vaalepu, and Nelson Asofa-Solomona.<\/p>\n
Sua Fa’alogo and Will Warbrick return to the wider squad and are named among the extended reserves, alongside potential debutants Josiah Pahulu and Angus Hinchey, and playmaker Keagan Russell-Smith.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Craig Bellamy has named his squad for Friday’s clash with the Sydney Roosters at AAMI Park, a special…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":97534,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[43,44,41,39,42,40],"class_list":["post-97533","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97533","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=97533"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97533\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/97534"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=97533"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=97533"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=97533"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
