In anticipation of their second-round SG Ball Cup clash, the NZ Warriors have announced their team with minimal changes.
The squad, led by coach Grant Pocklington, put up a valiant effort in their season opener against the Parramatta Eels, but unfortunately fell short with a score of 20-32.
However, the Warriors will be missing one of their key players, Sio Kali, due to a concussion, and Raphael Sio will be taking his position on the wing.
Despite this setback, the team remains determined and has named a strong seven-man bench.
Their upcoming opponents, the North Sydney Bears, suffered a defeat in their first match against Melbourne, ending with a score of 16-32.
Last season, the Bears finished in the lower half of the ladder, securing the 14th spot.
Both teams will be hungry for a win and will leave no stone unturned in their pursuit of victory.
