The NZ Warriors are set for a key match against the Dolphins at Suncorp Stadium on Saturday, with co-captain James Fisher-Harris and winger Roger Tuivasa-Sheck potentially returning from injuries.
Fisher-Harris, who has been recovering from a pectoral strain sustained in the sixth round against Melbourne on April 13, is included in the starting lineup.
Meanwhile, Tuivasa-Sheck, who has not played since a hamstring injury in the round three victory over the Sydney Roosters on March 21, is listed on the extended bench in jersey #22.
Warriors head coach Andrew Webster noted that Tuivasa-Sheck was considered for a return last week against St George Illawarra but was ultimately held back for additional recovery.
This match marks the fifth encounter between the Warriors and the Dolphins since the latter joined the competition in 2023.
The Warriors have triumphed in both of their home games, winning 30-8 in 2023 and 24-20 last year.
However, the Dolphins have secured victories in both their matches at Suncorp Stadium, with scores of 34-10 and 34-32.
Fans are looking forward to the clash at 3:00 PM local time (5:00 PM NZT) as the Warriors seek to capitalize on the returning players and improve their performance against the Dolphins on their turf.
