[Teams] ISP and NYC line-ups named

Ata Hingano is back from injury and reunited in the halves with captain Mason Lino for the Vodafone Warriors’ 12^th-round Intrust Super Premiership encounter with North Sydney at Mount Smart Stadium on Saturday (5.10pm kick-off).

With Hingano recovered from  the ankle injury he picked up playing for Tonga, Sam Cook moves back to hooker.

The Vodafone Warriors have NRL experience in starting props Ligi Sao and Charlie Gubb while Ofa Ogden, Isaiah Papali’i and James Bell are again named in the back row.

The match is the second leg of a tripleheader leading up to the Vodafone Warriors’ 12^th-round NRL clash against the Brisbane Broncos.

With their tough 20-18 win over Wentworthville on Sunday, the Ricky Henry-coached side sits second on the table just a point behind Wyong. The Bears are fourth on the ladder.

Meanwhile, the luckless Vodafone Junior Warriors will field a settled line-up when they face the Broncos at 3.15pm.

They went desperately close to grabbing their first win of the season last Friday night, only to be undone by a late St George Illawarra try as they lost 22-24.
