NRL Team List: Capewell, Barnett, CNK included
Experienced campaigners Kurt Capewell, Mitchell Barnett and Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad have all been named in the One New Zealand Warriors’ squad for Saturday’s round seven NRL clash against the Gold Coast Titans at Go Media Stadium (5.00pm kick-off).
The 32-year-old Capewell, who has missed the last five rounds with a calf injury, comes straight back into the second row alongside Leka Halasima.
Nicoll-Klokstad (30) was named to face the Melbourne Storm last week but was ultimately ruled out with a neck injury suffered in the loss to the Sharks in round five. He is included among the reserves listed in jersey #22.
And Barnett (31) is named in jersey #23 as he looks to return after missing the last two games against the Sharks and Storm with a broken thumb.
Of the 17 players used in Saturday night’s drought-breaking 38-14 win over the Storm the only player not selected is front rower Tanner Stowers-Smith who is sidelined with a hamstring injury.

Capewell’s return results in Marata Niukore returning to the interchange where he was originally named last week while rookie standoff Luke Hanson and second rower Eddie Ieremia-Toeava are on the six-man bench.
The match will edge standoff Chanel Harris-Tavita within one game of his 100th outing for the Warriors since his debut in 2019.
The One New Zealand Warriors have finished the first quarter of the regular season with a 4-2 record sitting third on the ladder; they’ve been inside the top four every week but one in the campaign so far, holding first spot for a week after round three.
In their four wins they have scored 158 points while conceding just 50.
In the Titans they face a side which has caused difficulty on numerous occasions as one of the most dangerous sides in the competition. That was reinforced when they blazed their way to a 52-10 win over Parramatta on Sunday.
Overall the Warriors hold a 21-15 advantage over the Titans in 36 encounters but Gold Coast has won six of the last eight matches between the two sides prevailing in each of their last three visits to Go Media Stadium (2023, 2024 and 2025).
Lining up against their old club on Saturday will be halfback Tanah Boyd, loose forward Erin Clark and 2026 signing Alofi’ana Khan-Pereira.
