A hooker swap has again been made for the Vodafone Junior Warriors’ seventh-round NYC encounter with the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs at Belmore Sports Ground today (11.00am kick-off local time; 1.00pm NZT).
As he did for last week’s 28-20 win over Manly, coach Kelvin Wright has opted to start with Chris Sio – named at loose forward originally – with captain and first-choice hooker Sheldon Pitama being used from the bench.
Kenese Kenese also comes into the starting line-up again, moved off the bench to run on at loose forward.
Front rower Keanu Dawson has been brought onto the bench.
