Cameron Munster returns for the Storm just in time for their clash with the table-topping Panthers at AAMI Park.

Munster was unable to back up from Origin last week due to an illness so sat out of the Storm’s Round 17 game.

The reinforcements don’t stop there, with towering prop Tui Kamikamica also back on deck from a calf injury.

Penrith are still missing star No.7 Nathan Cleary but are close to their best with Origin stars Brian To’o, Stephen Crichton, Jarome Luai, Liam Martin and Isaah Yeo returning after being rested last week.

The Storm are coming off a comprehensive win over Manly, while the Panthers dug in to beat the Knights 20-12 last week

The entire top four are locked up on 24 competition points. Whoever wins Friday night’s clash will become outright leads of the competition... at least until the Broncos play on Saturday.
