Halfback Kodi Nikorima and prop Chris Satae have dropped out of the extended squad for the Vodafone Warriors’ 19th-round NRL match against Parramatta at Bankwest Stadium in Sydney tomorrow (3.00pm kick-off local time; 5.00pm NZT).
Nikorima hasn’t fully recovered from an ankle injury he suffered scoring his try in last Friday’s 19-18 win over Cronulla in Wellington.
With two players required to be trimmed 24 hours before kick-off, Nikorima and prop Chris Satae were omitted.
Chanel Harris-Tavita is now set to partner Blake Green in the halves.
The final 17 will be confirmed an hour before kick-off.
