Two try hero Cheyse Blair propelled the Melbourne Storm to a scintillating one-point victory over the Rabbitohs on Friday night, but despite his efforts the 26-year-old is likely to be dumped for returning star Will Chambers.

The Melbourne Storm took out the Fuchs' Performance of the Week after edging out the South Sydney Rabbitohs in Friday night's preliminary final nail-bitter at AAMI Park.

Blair was instrumental on the pitch, punctuating his performance with a gutsy 74th minute try that levelled the score and put his name on the lips of Storm fans across the country.

However, despite his efforts it seems Will Chambers is expected to take his place having served his suspension for an ugly crusher tackle on Jarryd Hayne.

It's a tough break for Blair who missed last years grand final triumph with a broken ankle but the 26-year-old showed his class, celebrating the return of his teammate.

"I think Will probably deserves his position in this team - he's been here for a long time," Blair said on Tuesday.

"In saying that I will keep training hard to keep the coaches' eyes on me."

"I'm still hurting from last year - I played the first 12-15 games and then broke my ankle and watched the team win the GF.

"It's good for the club and I'm happy for all the boys but sometimes I wish that was me as well."
