Show Preview
The first round of the NRL season continues tonight when the New Zealand Warriors take on the Cronulla Sharks at Go Media Stadium in Auckland. Join The Roar for live scores from 6pm (AEDT).
Roger Tuivasa-Sheck has slotted in well at centre in the pre-season and halfback Shaun Johnson made a return from a calf injury.
But even though Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad (hamstring) is out, RTS will not be switched to fullback with Taine Tuaupiki getting the start. Luke Metcalf has beaten Te Maire Martin to be Johnson’s halves partner.
Kurt Capewell has crossed the ditch to add starch to the pack while utility back Chanel Harris-Tavita and Jazz Tevaga have missed out on the 17.
Uncapped Warriors rookie Zyon Maiu’u was sent off for his high tackle that floored Wests Tigers centre Declan Casey in the trials and copped a four-game ban with a guilty plea.
Nicho Hynes was rested for the trial win over Canterbury with a thigh problem but is be right for Round 1 while Dale Finucane (calf) is also confident of tackling the Warriors.
Braden Hamlin-Uele is out with a knee complaint.
