NZ Warriors have welcomed back some of the injured players missing from the weekend's shock win over NRL champions Penrith Panthers - but still no sign of captain Tohu Harris, star half Shaun Johnson or centre Roger Tuivasa-Sheck.
Coach Andrew Webster has largely kept faith - out of necessity - in the team that shocked three-time defending champions Penrith Panthers last week, without many of his frontline troops.
Harris was a late withdrawal with a training finger injury, while Johnson (shoulder) and Tuivasa-Sheck (hamstring) will have to wait until after next week's bye to return to the field.
With Johnson and Luke Metcalf unavailable, Webster has retained specialist fullback Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad at five-eighth, with Taine Tuaupiki - the gamewinner against Penrith - retaining the No.1 jersey.
Chanel Harris-Tavita rejoins the bench and may yet feature in the halves, alongside Te Maire Martin.
Warriors: 1-Taine Tuaupiki, 2-Dallin Watene-Zelezniak, 3-Rocco Berry, 4-Adam Pompey, 5-Marcelo Montoya, 6-Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad, 7-Te Maire Martin, 8-Addin Fonua-Blake, 9-Freddy Lussick, 10-Bunty Afoa, 11-Jackson Ford, 12-Mitch Barnett, 13-Dylan Walker
Interchange: 14-Tom Ale, 15-Jazz Tevaga, 16-Jacob Laban, 17-Marata Niukore, 18-Paul Roche, 20-Chanel Harris-Tavita, 21-Zyon Maiu'u, 22-Ed Kosi, 23-Moala Graham-Taufa
