Curtis Scott is a chance to miss this weekend's match against the Canterbury Bulldogs.

The Melbourne Storm centre played with a "rattled" shoulder against the Penrith Panthers and will therefore be monitored by club officials in the coming days.

Storm assistant coach Jason Ryles dismissed speculation that back-rower Joe Stimson could leave the club, following reports that linked him to St George Illawarra.

โ€œHe has been here for a long time and is a Storm player through and through,โ€ Ryles said on Tuesday.

โ€œSo it was a little bit of a surprise to see that (report) and we havenโ€™t heard anything otherwise. Itโ€™s obviously a little bit of rumours in the paper that we donโ€™t listen to.โ€

Stimson will not play in the Storm's round four clash, even though he impressed in his return to the Queensland Cup last week.

โ€œOur development coaches told us he looked like an NRL player playing in the QCup so thatโ€™s really good to hear,โ€ Ryles said.

The 23-year-old scored a try in the Sunshine Coast Falcons' 32-20 win over North Devils.
