In a recent update regarding the NZ Warriors' lineup for their round 17 match against the Brisbane Broncos, it was confirmed that halfback Tanner Boyd and prop Bunty Afoa will remain in the game day squad.
Three players have been dropped from the initial selection: hooker Sam Healey, prop Tanner Stowers-Smith, and hooker Taine Tuaupiki.
The match will take place at Suncorp Stadium with a kick-off time of 3:00 PM local time (5:00 PM NZT).
The Warriors are set to face the Broncos as previously selected.
Notable inclusions in the starting lineup are Queensland State of Origin hero Kurt Capewell, who returns to the second row after missing the last game against Penrith due to travel fatigue after the hard-fought second Origin match in Perth.
Centre Rocco Berry has recovered from a hamstring strain and replaces Moala Graham-Taufa, while winger Edward Kosi will make his fourth appearance of the season, taking the spot of Dallin Watene-Zelezniak, who has been sidelined for four to six weeks due to an ankle injury.
