NRLW Team List: Nuuausala back to bolster pack
Seasoned front rower Annetta Nuuausala returns to the fray for the One New Zealand Warriors’ round seven NRLW clash against the Wests Tigers at CommBank Stadium in Sydney on Sunday (1.45pm kick-off local time; 3.45pm NZT).
The major offseason signing last played in the tense 14-12 round four victory over the Eels but was unavailable for the last two encounters with the Titans and the Knights.
Her return in the starting front row results in Metanoia Fetalaiga moving to the bench with Ivana Lauitiiti selected as 18th player.
The rest of the squad is unchanged from the one used in last Saturday night’s impressive 22-14 Indigenous Round win over the Knights at FMG Stadium Waikato in Hamilton.
It completed a perfect two-from-two record in this season’s visits to Hamilton, the fourth win in six starts lifting the Warriors back to fourth on the ladder.
The Tigers also have four wins but sit fifth on points for and against differential.
