Having seen an understrength South Sydney unravel before their eyes, Melbourne skipper Jesse Bromwich says his team view Sunday's Magic Round clash with St George Illawarra as their biggest challenge of the NRL season. The Storm put 50 points on a Rabbitohs outfit that was missing the likes of Adam Reynolds, Latrell Mitchell and Cameron Murray, but find themselves heading into their clash with the Dragons without star playmaker Cameron Munster and hooking duo Harry Grant and Brandon Smith. Gun fullback Ryan Papenhuyzen is rated a good chance to play, but still has to pass searching tests on his injured shoulder. "Paps didn't do any contact with the team on Wednesday but they are giving him until the last minute to be able to play, which would be huge for us," Bromwich told on Thursday. Bromwich said it would be tough if they had to play without the bulk of their starting spine, with halfback Jahrome Hughes the only certainty. "It's a really big challenge," he said. "The Dragons are a decent team and we're got lots of outs so it's going to be quite dangerous. "With our spine out it's going to be really big task so it's on us as a forward group to take our group forward and take the pressure off whoever comes in."
