The New Zealand Warriors are set to receive a major boost in Round 5 as fullback Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad prepares to make his long-awaited return to the field after sitting out the first four games of the season.

According to reports from zerotackle.com, Nicoll-Klokstad is not included in the team list for this week but is aiming to make his comeback against the South Sydney Rabbitohs on April 6.

His return is expected to shake up the line-up, with speculation that he may displace Roger Tuivasa-Sheck from the fullback position and move him to the centres.

However, some critics and former players argue that Tuivasa-Sheck should remain as the number one fullback, with Nicoll-Klokstad slotting into the centre position.

"Roger's ready to play fullback.

He is your number one fullback.

Charnze still has to come back, I'd be playing Charnze in the centres and Roger at fullback," former NSW Blues halfback Greg Alexander commented on SENZ Mornings earlier this week, echoing the sentiments of many Rugby League enthusiasts.
