Head Coach Brad Arthur has named his side to face the New Zealand Warriors in Auckland this Saturday.
With fullback Jarryd Hayne set to play in the State of Origin decider this week, Arthur has named Chris Sandow at fullback, reuniting Corey Norman and Luke Kelly in the halves where they helped bring home a win against the Bulldogs in Round 14.
In the absence of Hayne and Tim Mannah (injury), Willie Tonga will Captain the Blue and Gold as they look to notch up a second win this season against the rapidly improving Warriors. And after some strong performances for the Wentworthville Magpies, Fuifui Moimoi returns to the interchange bench.
