Ben Matulino has been confirmed to make his comeback tonight after being named on the interchange for the Vodafone Warriors’ eighth traditional Anzac Day clash against the Storm at AAMI Park in Melbourne (7.00pm kick-off local time; 9.00pm NZT).
The match will be the 197th of his career and his first this season after undergoing two knee operations during the offseason.
The 28-year-old front rower joins hooker Nathaniel Roache and forwards Sam Lisone and Ligi Sao on the bench.
The starting line-up is unchanged from the one used in the last three games against Gold Coast, Parramatta and Canberra.
