While Roger Tuivasa-Sheck returns four NRL regulars will be missing for the One New Zealand Warriors’ 16th-round match against the Gold Coast Titans at Cbus Super Stadium in Robina on Saturday (3.00pm kick-off local time; 5.00pm NZT).
Experienced back rowers Kurt Capewell (Queensland) and Mitchell Barnett (New South Wales) are unavailable following their selection for the second State of Origin contest on June 26.
Centre Rocco Berry is sidelined with a shoulder injury which forced him off after just 37 minutes of Saturday night’s clash with Melbourne and winger Dallin Watene-Zelezniak is serving a one-game suspension after taking an early guilty plea for a high tackle on his Storm opposite Grant Anderson.
Tuivasa-Sheck replaces Berry in the centres as he returns from a hamstring injury which kept him out of the club’s last five matches against the Roosters, Panthers, Dolphins, Cowboys and Storm.
Edward Kosi makes his 30th NRL appearance with Watene-Zelezniak suspended for just the second time in his 203-game career.
