The Vodafone Junior Warriors will again be without one of their most experienced players with second rower Matiu Love-Henry ruled out of today’s 20th-round NYC clash against Manly at Mount Smart Stadium (12.40pm kick-off; match day sponsor: Red Bull).
Love-Henry has again been replaced by Koli Oneone, the same swap coach Kelvin Wright made for last Sunday’s match against the Sydney Roosters.
Oneone’s promotion to the starting line-up results in Amoni Tufui being brought onto the bench.
