Craig Bellamy is set to rest some key spine members ahead of Round 26, but it remains a mystery as to who will sit out this week.

The Panthers have a halves headache on their hands after a loss to the Raiders and an injury to the most obvious replacement.

Meanwhile, the Sharks are set for a major boost with their star halfback eyeing a return to the field.

North Queensland Cowboys v Melbourne Storm, 7:50pm AEST at Queensland Country Bank Stadium

Round 24 Cowboys team: 1. Scott Drinkwater 2. Kyle Feldt 3. Valentine Holmes 4. Viliami Vailea 5. Murray Taulagi 6. Tom Dearden 7. Jake Clifford 8. Jordan McLean 9. Reece Robson 10. Sam McIntyre 11. Heilum Luki 12. Kulikefu Finefeuiaki 13. Reuben Cotter 14. Harrison Edwards 15. Thomas Mikaele 16. Jaxon Purdue 17. Griffin Neame

Team Tips: JeremiahNanai is due to return from a head knock, likely replacing KulikefuFinefeuiaki who will drop to the bench, while JasonTaumalolo is also due to return from a facial injury. Those two players returning will likely see two of HarrisonEdwards, ThomasMikaele or JaxonPurdue drop off the bench. JakeClifford was impressive two rounds ago and will retain the No.7 jersey, with ChadTownsend blocked from a return to first grade.

Last week’s Melbourne team: 1. Ryan Papenhuyzen 2. William Warbrick 3. Jack Howarth 4. Nick Meaney 14. Sualauvi Faalogo 6. Cameron Munster 7. Jahrome Hughes 8. Nelson Asofa-Solomona 9. Harry Grant 10. Josh King 11. Shawn Blore 12. Eliesa Katoa 13. Trent Loiero 5. Tyran Wishart 16. Tui Kamikamica 17. Alec MacDonald 22. Christian Welch

Team Tips: It’s the question on everyone’s lips – who will Craig Bellamy be resting? Speaking in the post-match press conference he flagged HarryGrant and JahromeHughes as the first two that came to his mind. CameronMunster could also get a breather, but leaving out all three of his superstar spine members looms unlikely, with Munster potentially getting a rest in Round 27. Should Hughes get a rest, expect TyranWishart to come into the halves. However, Grant’s omission raises big question marks with Wishart also the obvious replacement to slot into the No.9 jersey with BronsonGarlick still battling a back injury. NickMeaney is also an option to join the halves. “Without a doubt, we’ll be doing some resting this week,” Bellamy said. “We might even do a little bit in the last game (against the Broncos). I don’t know yet, but certainly this
