The NZ Warriors have confirmed their final lineup for tonight's NRL preliminary final against the Brisbane Broncos at Suncorp Stadium.
The game is set to kick off at 7.50pm local time.
Fullback Taine Tuaupiki has been named as the 18th man for the Warriors.
This means that the team will have the same 17 players that were used in their 40-10 semifinal win over Newcastle last Saturday.
This is the fifth time in the club's history that they have reached a preliminary final, with their last appearance being in 2011.
In that year, they defeated Melbourne 20-12 to reach the grand final.
The Warriors have had mixed results in their previous grand final qualifiers, with a win over Cronulla Sutherland in 2002, a loss to Penrith Panthers in 2003, and a heavy defeat to Manly Warringah in 2008.
This season, the Warriors have had a successful campaign, winning 17 matches so far.
Three of their players, Dallin Watene-Zelezniak, Shaun Johnson, and Addin Fonua-Blake, have been named in the Players' Dream Team.
Watene-Zelezniak has been named on the wing, Johnson at halfback, and Fonua-Blake in the front row.
