‘Excited to get back into it’: Storm forward hints that stars will return for blockbuster Broncos clash

Storm's Josh King hints stars returning to rebound from last week's loss ahead of finals.

Storm prop Josh King has indicated several stars will return this week as the premiership favourites look to brush off last week's humbling loss to the Roosters with a win leading into the finals.

Melbourne rested King, Xavier Coates, Eli Katoa and others but defended stoutly in Craig Bellamy's 600th game in charge to hold a 10-0 halftime lead against the desperate Roosters.

But things fell away in the second half as the visitors raced in 40 unanswered points, with Canberra's win the following day ending the minor premiership race.

Bellamy was filthy after the match and described his side's effort "as soft as butter", which suggests the Broncos could cop their full wrath as Brisbane tries to clinch fourth spot.

"The weekend didn't go as we would have liked, but we spoke about how that one game doesn't define our season," King said.

"We haven't lost anything and you don't lose how you like to play or the way you've been playing for the last 25 rounds.
