Two changes have been made to the Vodafone Warriors’ bench for their 20th-round New South Wales Cup encounter with Manly at Mount Smart Stadium today (2.40pm kick-off).
Kouma Samson, who was in the club’s premiership-winning NYC side last year, and Ray Talimalie have been brought onto the interchange replacing Daniel Palavi and Zac Tippins.
The starting line-up is as named as the Vodafone Warriors seek to retain their position at the top of the competition ladder. They go into the match on 28 points, two points ahead of the Mounties, Penrith and Wyong.
