Craig Bellamy Doubts The Storm's Big Three Will Be Back Next Week

It was an unlucky night for Melbourne in Adelaide on Saturday, with the Roosters snatching a win from their clutches courtesy of the boot of Mitchell Pearce.

The Storm missed their stars, with Cameron Smith, Billy Slater and Cooper Cronk all ruled out of the clash after Wednesday night's Origin game.

And coach Craig Bellamy has hinted that they may be without their big guns again next week.

"We'll have to check on a couple of them during the week," Bellamy said.

"We've got a six-day turnaround. A couple of them could be touch and go but we'd like to think they will line up there.

"Will Chambers with his head knock will be one.

"A couple of the other guys have got a couple of knocks so we'll just check them.

"Obviously with their age I wanted to try to look after them a little better."

The Broncos play the Storm on Friday night.
