The NZ Warriors have announced a settled lineup for their round nine New South Wales Cup match against the North Sydney Bears, scheduled for Sunday at 1:00 PM local time (3:00 PM NZT).
The only modification from last Saturday's match against Newcastle is the return of Luke Hanson from Jersey Flegg, who takes over from Te Maire Martin at the #6 position.
Martin will now be on the interchange for the NRL team.
Additionally, the bench sees a change with Makaia Tafua being included after competing for the under-21s last week.
This match marks the Warriors' first away game in a month after previously playing three rounds at home in Auckland against Newtown, St George Illawarra, and Newcastle.
The Warriors are coming off a strong performance, boasting all 13 players surpassing 100 metres in their last match, as they rebounded from a challenging first half to dominate the statistics.
They will face a North Sydney team currently sitting in eighth place, which recently had a streak of three consecutive wins broken by a 26-36 loss to Canberra last weekend.
