Co-captain Mason Lino and Jazz Tevaga will both line up in the Intrust Super Premiership for the first time this season when the Vodafone Warriors host the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs in tomorrow’s second-round encounter at Mount Smart Stadium (2.45pm kick-off).
It has been confirmed tonight that halfback Lino and utility Tevaga are the two players to drop out of the 21-man squad named on Tuesday for the club’s NRL clash against Gold Coast tomorrow.
They were unable to play last week when they travelled to Perth on the NRL team’s extended bench so will now have game time for the John Teina-coached ISP team.
They were included in the ISP line-up when the Vodafone Warriors released their three teams on Tuesday (Lino at halfback and Tevaga at loose forward).
The Vodafone Warriors’ NRL bench now comprises Sam Cook, Leivaha Pulu, Sam Lisone, Bunty Afoa, Anthony Gelling and Agnatius Paasi with the final 17 to be declared an hour before kick-off tomorrow.
