Melbourne big gun Greg Inglis is rated a 50-50 chance of taking on the Warriors in their NRL clash on Sunday after scans cleared the Test star of major injury.

Inglis was on Tuesday named in the Melbourne line-up for the Anzac Day match at Etihad Stadium, less than 24 hours after being assisted from the field late in the first half of the Storm's 18-16 loss to Manly.

Scans cleared the giant centre of any new structural or ligament damage, although he aggravated an existing injury when tackled by Sea Eagles centre Steve Matai.

He was off his crutches at the team recovery pool session on Tuesday, but did solo work, wading in the shallow pool.

Fellow Storm centre Dane Nielsen nursed a thumb and finger injury, which forced him off in the second half, but was also included in the squad, avoiding a major backline reshuffle.

Furious Melbourne coach Craig Bellamy forecast team changes after the disappointing performance, however the only new face in the squad is Brett White.

With Bellamy complaining about poor attitude and a lack of aggression from his forwards, White is set to play his first game of 2010 following off-season shoulder surgery having being added to an extended bench.

Storm skipper Cameron Smith acknowledged his team lacked mongrel against a fired-up Manly.

"It was a pretty physical match and we got out-played in the forwards in the first half definitely," Smith said.

"I don't think I've played against Manly when they've played like that, particularly Jason King, I've never seen him run like that before and he really led the way for them."

After the match he rated his showing, with a number of fumbled balls and a shanked easy conversion attempt as "one of the worst of his career".

After a night of reflection Smith said he had been harsh on himself but was still bitterly disappointed.

"The feeling that I had after the game was one of missed opportunity," he said.

"We played pretty poorly and lost by two points so we had a chance to win it.

"That kick I missed, I could probably have usually kicked with my eyes closed."

One player who had something to celebrate was league journeyman Bryan Norrie, who scored the first try of his career after 64 NRL games, since making his debut in 2004.

The 26-year-old prop, who has played at St George Illawarra, Penrith and Cronulla before joining the Storm this year, was grateful to break the duck but would have traded it for a win.
