The boys over at warriors.kiwi have dropped their latest team list, and it's looking good with DWZ and Capewell back in action.
Winger Dallin Watene-Zelezniak and second rower Kurt Capewell are set to return for the NZ Warriors as they gear up to take on Manly Warringah at the packed Go Media Stadium this Saturday.
Watene-Zelezniak missed the last game due to some hamstring trouble, while Capewell was out following the NRL's concussion protocols.
But now, they're both back in the game, ready to give their all for the team.
With Watene-Zelezniak back on the wing for his 195th match, and captain Roger Tuivasa-Sheck shifting back to left centre, the team is looking stronger than ever.
Head coach Andrew Webster can now name his preferred starting pack, with Mitchell Barnett back in the front row for his 149th appearance.
However, the team will have to soldier on without prop Bunty Afoa, who's facing a lengthy sideline stint due to a hamstring injury.
It's a tough blow for the team, who are already missing key players like Dylan Walker, Marata Niukore, and Luke Metcalf.
Despite the setbacks, the NZ Warriors are ready to take on their old rivals, Manly.
The Sea Eagles have always been a tough opponent for the Warriors, holding a 27-13 advantage in their head-to-head matchups since 1995.
But the boys are fired up and ready to give it their all on Saturday.
