Storm face being without six starters for Titans clash – Sydney Morning Herald
The Storm are battling a growing injury list with six regular starters in doubt to face Gold Coast on Friday and some reliable reserves also struggling.
Brandon Smith was named at starting prop in place of Bromwich and Munster was listed at five-eighth when the Storm revealed their 21-man squad on Tuesday night.
Bromwich left the field in the first half of last round’s win over Canberra and didn’t return, while Tom Eisenhuth was ruled out in warm-ups after injuring his hamstring.
Queensland forward Felise Kaufusi (knee) was named to start but has to prove his fitness after missing last round, while star winger Suliasi Vunivalu was left out as they cautiously manage his hamstring injury.
Neither forwards Tui Kamikamica (back) nor Max King (Achilles, two weeks) will be available this round with the Fijian listed as indefinite due to ongoing back problems.
Playmaker Ryley Jacks is managing a badly corked thigh, but could still play.
Storm football director Franks Ponissi said Bromwich’s loss would be keenly felt as he has been a reliable and consistent performer.
“That’s a big loss for us we tried to get him back
