Late Mail: Fullback Ryan Papenhuyzen will miss this game after picking up a concussion in the win over the Broncos. He will be replaced in the number one jersey by Nick Meaney. “He’s just got a bit of delayed concussion,” Frank Ponissi, the Storm General Manager of Football said on the club’s website. “Given everything about concussion, it’s just something we’re extra precautionary with these days. He’ll miss this week but he’s already recovering very well so he’ll continue to rest for the next few days. But the way he’s gone the last 48 hours, we think he’ll be back next week against the Bulldogs.”
