Final teams are in! The Dragons are as listed earlier in the week, however Weyman and Merrin will both come off the bench with Harrison and Ah Mau slotted into the starting line up. Storm have been forced to make a few changes with Norrie replaced by Vave and Slade Griffin has been called up for his debut to fill in from the bench.
It's currently about 32 degrees in Melbourne and from all reports, quite humid.
