The Melbourne Storm have called up Lazarus Vaalepu to face the Penrith Panthers in the 2024 NRL Grand Final at Sydney’s Accor Stadium this Sunday.

Vaalepu — with just seven games of first-grade footy under his belt — comes onto the bench, with Tui Kamikamica moving into the starting side in place of suspended forward Nelson Asofa-Solomona.

Grant Anderson is 18th man for the Storm, with Kane Bradley, Joe Chan, Sualauvi Faalago and Tepai Moeroa filling out the reserves.

Meanwhile, the Panthers have named Nathan Cleary to start at halfback despite ongoing concerns about his injured shoulder.

Brad Schneider is listed on the interchange as cover, while second-rower Scott Sorensen is among the reserves again after missing Penrith’s previous two finals due to a hamstring issue.

Casey McLean is first emergency for the Panthers, with Daine Laurie, Luke Sommerton and Trent Toelau also on standby.
