Melbourne Storm face Papenhuyzen and Fa'alogo injury concerns, potentially impacting round one availability.
The Melbourne Storm are facing a real headache as the Ryan Papenhuyzen saga worsens, with Sua Fa'alogo now adding to their woes.
Fa'alogo, who had been touted as Papenhuyzen's replacement, suffered a hamstring issue in the Storm's trial-game loss to North Queensland, putting his availability for round one in doubt.
Papenhuyzen, already struggling with ankle and knee niggles, is unlikely to take the field against Parramatta in the opener, but the round two bye could give him a chance to recover.
