Graham Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Thursday: Storm vs Broncos in Melbourne Late Mail: Jesse Bromwich (thumb) will come into the starting 17, with Tim Glasby dropping to the bench and Vincent Leuluai to make way. Bellamy has also shaken-up his spine, with Munster to start at fullback and the returning Slater to be injected off the bench once the heat goes out of the early exchanges. That gives Riley Jacks another opportunity to shine at five-eighth as he starts the game alongside Cooper Cronk. Joe Stimson drops out of the squad as a consequence. For Brisbane, James Roberts (knee) will play with strapping, but Wayne Bennett is adamant his star centre is right to play. Matt Gillett (concussion) and Josh McGuire have both been on light training duties this week but are certain starters.

Graham Posted March 16, 2017 Author Share Posted March 16, 2017 Quote ALL eyes will be on the man in the purple No.1 jersey when Billy Slater makes his long-awaited return to the NRL for Melbourne in their clash with Brisbane. Slater has played just one game since May 2015, so there is huge interest in how his body will hold up. The Australian Rugby League Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted March 16, 2017 Author Share Posted March 16, 2017 Billy has all the headlines here, but he is being held back at least at first. It's a sensible approach by Bellyache. I just hope Billy is ready and does come through, however many minutes he gets, in good nick. The Australian Rugby League Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
