Storm - Jahrome Hughes (suspension) is out, with Jonah Pezet starting at Halfback.
Cameron Munster (finger injury) returns at five-eighth.
Tom Eisenhuth is the reserve player.
Tigers - 1 to 17 as named in the link above.
Daine Laurie returns from injury on the bench.
Adam Doueihi has been named at fullback with Brandon Wakeham starting at five-eighth alongside Luke Brooks.
Alex Seyfarth joins the bench, replacing Joe Ofahengaue.
John Bateman and Isaiah Papali'i will start in the second row together for the first time.
Starford To'a is the reserve player.
The Tragics Tip - The Tigers seem to be going backwards from where most fans would've probably thought they would be, the Adam Doueihi to fullback is an interesting one but with how well Brandon Wakeham played, you'd need to fit him in somewhere and I hope it provides the spark the Tigers need to win because Apisai Koroisau needs something to work with.
Melbourne have uncharacteristically lost their first three games of the season and suddenly look very vulnerable - this could possibly be an upset but I think with Munster back, it'll provide the spark Melbourne need - Storm to Win
