The NZ Warriors are preparing for their round 17 New South Wales Cup clash against Manly Warringah, aiming for their 11th consecutive win.

The match will take place at 4 Pines Park in Sydney at 3.00pm local time (5.00pm NZT).

Several changes have been made to the backline since last Saturday's 32-12 victory over Penrith.

Fullback Geronimo Doyle has been moved to the bench, while winger Edward Kosi is on NRL duty.

Debutants Caelys Putoko and Garry Tuilekutu are also unavailable, with Putoko returning to the Jersey Flegg Cup and Tuilekutu designated as 18th man.

In light of these changes, Taine Tuaupiki will take over as fullback, with Sio Kali and Setu Tu joining the wing positions.

Moala Graham-Taufa, who recently scored in his NRL return, is set to play in the centres.

Currently, the Warriors hold a 14-1 record this season and aim to extend their perfect away record to eight wins.
