The New Zealand Warriors will face several lineup changes in their upcoming game against Brisbane due to injuries and suspension.
Fullback Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad, co-captain James Fisher-Harris, and centre Rocco Berry will be out for the game.
This has led to Taine Tuaupiki moving to fullback, Jackson Ford replacing Fisher-Harris in the front row, Kurt Capewell shifting to the centres for Berry, Edward Kosi moving to the right wing, and Leka Halasima filling the second row position left vacant by Capewell's move.
Ford and Halasima will be promoted from the bench, with Jacob Laban and Te Maire Martin replacing them on the interchange.
Despite these changes, the Warriors are aiming to secure their third consecutive NRL home game win after victories against Manly Warringah and the Sydney Roosters.
Their last game against Melbourne ended in a disappointing 14-42 loss, but the team managed to score three tries in the second half to stem the flow of points.
The club's Jersey Flegg Cup and New South Wales Cup teams will also be playing at Go Media Stadium on Saturday.
The match, which will be a Pasifika-themed NRL clash celebrating Adam Pompey's 100th career appearance, is sold out, further adding to the anticipation for the game.
