The NZ Warriors are set to face the Wests Tigers in round 19 of the NRL at Go Media Stadium, with a kick-off at 4:00 PM.
This marks the third consecutive game where the Warriors will line up as initially selected.
Eddie Ieremia-Toeava has been confirmed as the 18th man for the match.
Notably, Tanah Boyd will make his club debut as Warrior #293, stepping in for the injured Luke Metcalf.
Kurt Capewell, celebrating his 32nd birthday yesterday, was part of the extended 22-man squad named on Tuesday but will not play today after his exhaustive performance in the Maroons' 24-12 victory during the Origin series decider.
Head coach Andrew Webster decided against including him in the final lineup.
With first-choice fullback Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad out due to a knee injury, Tuaupiki returns for his 21st career appearance and his 10th this season.
He had previously started at fullback in the round seven win over the Broncos and has played on the wing in the other eight games this season.
