The NZ Warriors have announced a strong line-up for their upcoming New South Wales Cup play-off against Canberra.
The team, which includes nine players with NRL experience, will be looking to secure a win and move on to week three of the finals.
Despite fielding an understrength side in their last match, the Warriors put up a strong fight against South Sydney.
Now, with a much-changed team at their disposal, they are hoping for a better result.
Five of the backs in the line-up have first-grade experience, including centres Brayden Wiliame and Ali Leiataua, wingers Edward Kosi and Moala Graham-Taufa, and halfback Ronald Volkman.
The team also features hooker Paul Roache, second rower Kalani Going, and seasoned middle forwards James Gavet and Tom Ale.
Jacob Laban, who was 18th man for the NRL team in their last game, will also be returning.
Meanwhile, the Raiders kept their season alive with a thrilling win over the Sea Eagles, coming back from a deficit to secure victory.
