Fullback Isaiah Iongi returns from an ankle injury suffered in Round 4 so Joash Papalii moves to five-eighth alongside Ronald Volkman, who takes over from Mitch Moses (hamstring). Forward Kitione Kautoga (knee) is also back on deck and Sam Tuivaiti is listed among the reserves as he looks to return from a shoulder injury. Skipper Junior Paulo is set to miss eight weeks of footy after undergoing an arthroscopic procedure for his right knee due to chronic injury. Jack Williams lines up at prop and will also captain the side in the absence of Moses and Paulo.

Great for the Storm, they freed up a bit of salary cap a year earlier than anticipated. And very nice of us to help the Broncos get their signing by bridging the contract for a year.
We are truly the nice guys of the NRL to help out two teams who are such underfunded battlers.
Remember saying round 13 we can restart with players coming back. Yet the injury list has 10 players and that doesn't include Matto.
Smith and Tuivita both getting minutes in nsw cup before playing nrl is an interesting choice given the weak lineup
We're going to get destroyed defending on our line... Both sides are easy targets with Volkman/Papalii and Tuilagi/Kautoga
Oh boy, the worst roster in the competition. O'Neil, Ryles and everyone else at this club needs to walk.
How we have spent the entire salary cap on these players is beyond me. If every player were paid what they are really worth, we'd be at least $5M under the salary cap!
Yet won 4 more games than Saints. Go figure.
I may add, Ryles has a pattern of being players back through Cup for minutes. Did the same for Iongi and Kautoga last week.
Everyone saying Tuivaiti is on the outer, he's had 6 weeks off, is 21 and played 16 NRL games. Not like Paulo who can miss 8 weeks and come back in and be ok. I would prefer Tuivaiti to come straight back in but also makes sense.
If he is still not in next, week ok fair start questioning but until then just calm.
Only problem I really have is Pezet. He must be injured/suspended.
Not sure how we win though. Ah well....
