Original Teams and Stats - https://www.thetragicblog.net/post/the-tragics-teams-penrith-panthers-vs-melbourne-storm-thursday-7-50pm
Panthers - Dylan Edwards is out with injury with Charlie Staines coming in to the side at fullback.
Taylan May is also out with a shoulder injury and is replaced by Sunia Turuva on the wing.
Viliame Kikau returns after recovering from a hip injury in the second row with Chris Smith dropping out of the side.
Matt Eisenhuth will start at prop with James Fisher-Harris suspended
J'maine Hopgood is 18th Man.
Storm - Brandon Smith will start at lock and Tui Kamikamica in the second row with Josh King and Tom Eisenhuth going to the interchange.
Cooper Johns will start at halfback with Jahrome Hughes out with a shoulder injury.
Cameron Munster returns to five-eighth with Nick Meaney returning from concussion at fullback
Justin Olam returns from COVID protocols at centre.
Alec MacDonald is 18th Man
The Tragics Tip - With the late omission of Dylan Edwards - this matchup just got even more interesting. I think with Dylan Edwards out, even with Ryan Papenhuyzen and Jahrome Hughes missing, Melbourne can win this one.
