NZ Warriors co-captains Mitchell Barnett and James Fisher-Harris, along with centre Rocco Berry, have been named for the 13th round NRL clash against the Rabbitohs at Accor Stadium in Sydney, set for a 2:00 PM local time kick-off.
Barnett is participating in the opening match of the 2025 State of Origin series against Queensland at Suncorp Stadium before returning to play for the Warriors just four days later.
Fisher-Harris rejoins the team after serving a suspension during the previous match against Canberra, which resulted in a 10-16 loss for the Warriors, snapping their five-game winning streak since April 13 against Melbourne.
Currently, the Warriors share second place on the ladder but sit third behind Canberra due to points differential, just two points shy of the Bulldogs.
The Rabbitohs, coached by Wayne Bennett, are coming off a bye and hold sixth place with a 6-5 win-loss record, totaling 14 points.
They feature two players in the New South Wales squad, centre Latrell Mitchell and 18th man Campbell Graham.
