Josh King announced key player returns as Storm aims to recover from Roosters defeat.
Storm star Josh King has suggested that several key players will return this week as the premiership favorites aim to bounce back from last week's disappointing loss to the Roosters, gearing up for their finals campaign.
Melbourne opted to rest players like King, Xavier Coates, and Eli Katoa, yet they managed to defend robustly during Craig Bellamy's 600th match as coach, leading 10-0 at halftime against a desperate Roosters team.
However, the situation deteriorated in the second half, with the Roosters scoring 40 unanswered points, and Canberra's subsequent victory concluded the minor premiership race.
