James Fisher-Harris will lead an as-selected side when the One New Zealand Warriors face the Wests Tigers in tonight’s round 19 NRL match at Campbelltown Sports Stadium (8.00pm kick-off local time; 10.00pm NZT).

Fisher-Harris makes his return from a calf injury along with second rower Leka Halasima (hamstring) and winger Alofi’ana Khan-Pereira (thigh).

Neither Mitchell Barnett nor Kurt Capewell are backing up from State of Origin duty on Wednesday night.

The 32-year-old veterans were rivals for the third time in the 2026 campaign as New South Wales clinched the title with a 30-12 victory over Queensland at Suncorp Stadium on Thursday night.

After Barnett played a total of 38 minutes for the Blues and Capewell 50 minutes for the Maroons, the decision was made yesterday morning to drop them out of the squad.

With those two left out the One New Zealand Warriors were able to add another forward on their bench bringing in ex-Leeds Rhinos second rower Morgan Gannon. He has now been omitted from the final 19-man squad.

Fisher-Harris and Halasima had been sidelined since the 18-20 loss to Penrith on May 31, a period that encompassed two byes plus the tight 8-10 loss to the Sharks, the 38-20 win against the Cowboys and the heart-breaking 24-26 defeat by the Dolphins.

Khan-Pereira, who has nine tries in eight appearances, comes back from the thigh injury he suffered in the home loss to the Sharks which kept him out of the contests with the Cowboys and Dolphins.

While he returns the Warriors have lost leading try scorer Dallin Watene-Zelezniak – 16 tries in 15 appearances – after he picked up a hamstring injury against the Dolphins.

The final six-man bench comprises Sam Healey, Eddie Ieremia-Toeava, Demitric Vaimauga, Marata Niukore, Luke Metcalf and ex-Wests Tigers Luke Laulilii, who has been signed on a short-term deal until the end of the season.

Following their third bye the One New Zealand Warriors remain second on the ladder on 26 points along with the Roosters and Knights.

When the Warriors and Tigers met at Go Media Stadium in round four, the visitors stole a 32-14 victory. They go into Friday nights match lying 12th after three consecutive losses to the Dolphins, Knights and Dragons.
