Melbourne Storm hope Ryan Papenhuyzen will return next week after recovering from a minor calf strain.
The Melbourne Storm are hopeful that star fullback Ryan Papenhuyzen will only need another week on the sidelines as he recovers from a minor calf strain.
The number one, who has missed more times than he hasn't in recent seasons, was a late withdrawal from last week's Saturday afternoon victory over the Newcastle Knights with what was described as calf tightness.
In their team list announcement on Tuesday, the Storm wrote that the club medical staff were taking a 'cautious approach' to Papenhuyzen's return.
