Melbourne NRL coach Craig Bellamy believes new centre Maurice Blair can handle former Storm favourite Greg Inglis, playing his first match against his old club.

Lining up for South Sydney after leaving Melbourne at the start of the season due to the salary cap scandal, Inglis is primed for a big game at ANZ Stadium on Sunday as he looks ahead to State of Origin II in Sydney on June 15.
