Bellamy names 20-man squad for
Cowboys clash

Melbourne Storm coach Craig Bellamy has named a 20-man squad for this weekend's 1ST semi-final clash against the North Queensland Cowboys. The Storm take on the Cowboys at Aussie Stadium in Sydney on Saturday, September 17th at 7:45pm.

After last weekend?s courageous victory over the Brisbane Broncos at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, Bellamy has added several players to his squad to cover injuries sustained during last weekend?s 2nd qualifying final.

Billy Slater has been ruled out with ankle ligament damage giving Greg Inglis his chance in his favoured fullback position.

Glen Turner has forced his way into the starting line-up after his impressive display last week at the expense of Ryan Hoffman who takes his place on an extended interchange bench.

Dennis Scott takes his place on the interchange bench after being a late withdrawal from last weekend?s game with a shoulder injury, as does Cooper Cronk who last weekend made way for Inglis.

Alex Chan will start on the interchange bench given his impressive performance after coming in late against the Broncos for the injured Scott, while Jamie Feeney and Ian Donnelly have been added to the bench.

The Storm comes off a sensational away win over the Brisbane Broncos 24-18 in the 2nd qualifying final at Suncorp Stadium, while the Cowboys were smashed 50-6 against Wests Tigers in the 1st qualifying final at Telstra Stadium.
