The NZ Warriors will have a significantly altered line-up for their first finals clash in the New South Wales Cup against South Sydney.
According to a report by warriors.kiwi, several players from coach Slade Griffin's team will be unavailable after being added to the club's rearranged NRL side.
Captain Kalani Going and hooker Paul Roache will both be making their first-grade debuts at Suncorp Stadium, while Jacob Laban and Brayden Wiliame will serve as the 18th and 19th men for the NRL team, respectively.
Regular NSW Cup halfback Ronald Volkman will return to the NRL line-up, along with Tom Ale, Taine Tuaupiki, and Edward Kosi.
Te Maire Martin, who recently made a comeback from injury in the New South Wales Cup, will also be on NRL duty.
The outcome of today's match will determine whether the Warriors will face the Bears or the winners of the Raiders vs.
Sea Eagles elimination encounter in the second week of the finals.
