Jazz Tevaga has been confirmed to start at hooker replacing the injured Issac Luke in the Vodafone Warriors’ 22nd-round NRL match against the Gold Coast Titans at Cbus Super Stadium today.
Tevaga was brought into the travelling squad after Luke was ruled out on Friday with a knee injury which will keep him sidelined for a month.
Bunty Afoa is the player to drop off the five-man interchange originally named. He was used in the club’s NYC side in today’s curtain-raiser.
