There’s no changes to the initial 17 member squad from Melbourne Storm’s last week’s big win over the Titans.

However, the good news for the Storm is that Fiji Bati winger Suliasi Vunivalu has been included on an extended bench.

Vunivalu pushes for a return from a hamstring strain he suffered three weeks ago.
