Jahrome Hughes returns for the Melbourne Storm tonight when they take on the Sharks in the first preliminary final.

Hughes returns just three weeks after fracturing his forearm against the Broncos.

Fullback Ryan Papenhuyzen and back-rower Shawn Blore are also back for tonight’s match.

Young gun Jonah Pezet makes way after playing a blinder in the qualifying final, filling in for Hughes, while Nick Meaney moves to the centres, and Grant Anderson goes to the 18th man.

Shawn Blore has been named on the bench while Ativalu Lisati gets his second starting appearance of the season.

The Storm will take on the Sharks at 9.50 tonight, while defending champion, the Panthers, will face the Broncos at 6.05pm Sunday in the second preliminary final.
