The NZ Warriors have announced their selected line-up for tonight's round 24 NRL match against the Wests Tigers.
The game will take place at a sold-out FMG Waikato Stadium in Hamilton, with a kick-off time of 7.30pm.
Hooker Freddy Lussick has been named as the 18th man for the Warriors, following his starting role in the club's New South Wales Cup side in the previous match against Western Suburbs.
Coached by Andrew Webster, the Warriors are aiming for their fifth consecutive victory, which will help them solidify their hold on third place in the ladder.
Taine Tuaupiki has been confirmed as the fullback for this game, replacing the unavailable Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad.
This is the only change to the Warriors' line-up from their last match, where they secured a 28-18 win over the Gold Coast.
Nicoll-Klokstad is currently undergoing NRL concussion protocols due to a high tackle from Titans prop Moeaki Fotuaika in the previous game.
As a result, Tuaupiki, who was activated as the 18th man to replace Nicoll-Klokstad, will start in this match, marking his fourth appearance in the NRL.
