Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, Marata Niukore and Chanel Harris-Tavita are all set for the One New Zealand Warriors’ NRL round one encounter with the Sydney Roosters at Go Media Stadium on Friday, March 6 (8.00pm kick-off).
The trio missed each of the club’s two Pre-season Challenge clashes against Manly Warringah and the Dolphins but Tuivasa-Sheck (hamstring), Niukore (calf) and Harris-Tavita (calf) will be available to kick off the Warriors’ 32nd NRL season.
Taine Tuaupiki (ankle) made a successful return from his injury lay-off in last Friday night’s trial match against the Dolphins.
