The Warriors left second-rower Ali Lauiti'iti behind with a sternum injury when they flew out for Melbourne yesterday.
He has been replaced by Monty Betham in a squad seriously down on attacking firepower.
Five-eighth Jason Bell flew with the team despite a shoulder injury and will be in the 17if he passes a fitness test on match-day tomorrow. Betham or Jonathon Smith are the ones most likely to miss out.
Joe Vagana went a day after his wife, Andrea, gave birth to a brother for two-year-old Keanu. Mum and son are fit and well.
The Warriors will use their fifth fullback this season - Brisbane Souths captain David Mulhall, aged 24, who was picked up after scoring more than 100 points in the Queensland state competition.
Rodney Howe returns to the Storm after injury and they have only the suspended Steve Kearney missing from their first-choice line-up.
The Storm come off the back of two big losses induced by loss of, or backing-up by, their State of Origin stars.
Kiwi Richard Swain admitted that that had cost them their winning rhythm and that training this week had concentrated on the players working on the lines they run off each other.
With the top team together again, the Storm are looking to move out of ninth spot and to end a jinx against the Warriors, who have a 3-2 win-loss record against them. St George are the only other NRL club up on the Storm.
