The Warriors have named an unchanged 17 for their Round 6 showdown with the embattled Brisbane Broncos at Mount Smart Stadium this Saturday.
Simon Mannering remains on the bench in the No.16 jumper after making a strong return from a shoulder injury off the pine against North Queensland last weekend.
Anthony Gelling retains the No.17 jumper after brief bench cameos in the Warriors’ previous two outings, but first-choice back-rower Isaiah Papali’i – who has been absent through injury since Round 2 – has been named in the reserves contingent.
Utility Sam Cook, who made two interchange appearances in first grade at the start of the season, is also back in the reserves mix, alongside Mason Lino and Chris Satae, who both starred in their only top-flight outing of the season against the Roosters in Round 4.
The match doubles as ‘Old Boys Day’ for the club.
