The NZ Warriors have confirmed their lineup for the round 12 match against Canberra at Go Media Stadium, with no changes made since the last update.
"As indicated at the 24-hour deadline last night, Ali Leiataua starts in the centres in his comeback from injury." Stand-in captain Kurt Capewell is returning to his traditional position in the second row after previously playing in the centres.
Marata Niukore has been moved from the second row to prop, solidifying his role alongside Bunty Afoa as the starting props.
"Jackson Ford is on the interchange alongside Te Maire Martin, Demitric Vaimauga, and Jacob Laban." These adjustments were necessitated by injuries to co-captains Mitchell Barnett and James Fisher-Harris.
The Canberra Raiders are facing challenges of their own, as they have also lost a player, with back rower Hudson Young joining Barnett in the New South Wales squad for the State of Origin.
The match is scheduled to kick off at 6:05 PM.
