Aaron Pene will again start with Addin Fonua-Blake switched to the bench for the Vodafone Warriors' 18th-round NRL encounter with the Parramatta Eels in Sydney tonight.
It's a repeat of the late selection swap interim head coach Stacey Jones made for the homecoming clash against the Wests Tigers at Mount Smart Stadium on July 3.
Other than the Pene for Fonua-Blake move, the Vodafone Warriors are as selected as they seek to go back-to-back for the first time since early April.
It means Fonua-Blake, Freddy Lussick, Bunty Afoa and Jack Murchie make up the interchange.
Eliesa Katoa is 18th man with Rocco Berry 19th.
Three Vodafone Warriors players reach career milestones with second rower Euan Aitken lining up for his 150th career appearance and centre Adam Pompey and standoff Chanel Harris-Tavita clocking up their 50th games after both debuted in 2019.
