Blake Green and Jesse Bromwich have been added to Melbourne’s leadership group for the 2016 NRL season.

Cameron Smith will remain as Storm captain, while Green and Bromwich will join the well-established Cooper Cronk and Billy Slater as leaders of the squad.

The new duo have been elevated ahead of the Storm’s round-one clash with St George Illawarra on March 7, after former senior player Ryan Hinchcliffe left the club for the English Super League at the end of last year.
