Cooper Cronk will miss Melbourne's NRL grand final rematch with Cronulla Sharks tonight as the State of Origin workload takes its toll.
Cronk arrived to train with the Storm for the first time since Friday's 40‑12 win against the Newcastle Knights, but Melbourne officials determined he needed a rest.
The two teams are first and second in the league defensively.
The Storm will face the Sharks at 9.50pm tonight.
