The NZ Warriors are set to retain their starting lineup of 1-17 for the second consecutive week as they prepare for their round 17 NRL match against the Brisbane Broncos at Suncorp Stadium, scheduled for a 3:00 PM local time kick-off (5:00 PM NZT).
Halfback Tanah Boyd will serve as the 18th man, while prop Bunty Afoa is listed as the 19th man.
Three players-hooker Sam Healey, prop Tanner Stowers-Smith, and hooker Taine Tuaupiki-were excluded from the squad just 24 hours prior to the match.
Notably, Queensland State of Origin player Kurt Capewell rejoins the lineup, returning to the second row after missing last week's game against Penrith due to a demanding travel schedule following his participation in a tough second Origin match in Perth.
Additionally, centre Rocco Berry and winger Edward Kosi were also included in the starting lineup announced on Tuesday.
