In a stunning display of talent and experience, the NZ Warriors' New South Wales Cup side is set to showcase seasoned NRL players Jazz Tevaga, Te Maire Martin, and Chanel Harris-Tavita in their clash against Newtown on Friday night.
This trio of players not only brings ample first-grade experience but has also donned the international jerseys and represented the prestigious Māori All Stars.
Alongside them, the return of 27-game NRL winger Edward Kosi, who overcame a scaphoid injury during the preseason, will undoubtedly bolster the team's attacking prowess.
The line-up is further strengthened by the inclusion of three promising 2023 first-grade rookies, Ali Leiataua, Paul Roache, and Kalani Going, as well as the highly regarded Jacob Laban, who impressed in his stint as the Warriors' 18th man last season.
This combination of established talent and upcoming stars promises to provide an electrifying display of Rugby League prowess at Go Media Stadium.
With a kick-off time of 5.15pm, fans can expect a high-octane battle filled with deft passes, thundering tackles, and calculated plays that would make even the most seasoned veterans proud.
