The One New Zealand Warriors are intent on building on their last-start win over Wests Tigers when they entertain the bye-refreshed St George Illawarra in tonight’s Women in League Round match at Go Media Stadium.<\/p>\n
The Dragons have struggled to get results this season but have consistently shown they are up for the fight – and the Warriors will know better than to take them lightly.<\/p>\n
Both sides come into this game with wins against Wests Tigers as their last result, with the Warriors posting a 32-6 result last Friday.<\/p>\n
The Warriors have been bolstered by the return of State of Origin forwards Mitchell Barnett and Kurt Capewell plus winger Dallin Watene-Zelezniak while three other key players in James Fisher-Harris, Leka Halasima and Alofi’ana Khan-Pereira came back into the lineup last week.<\/p>\n
This is only the second time the Warriors have played in Auckland in the last three months.<\/p>\n
Team news<\/p>\n
One New Zealand Warriors: Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad comes on to the interchange bench in place of Marata Niukore in the 24-hour update. Origin pair Kurt Capewell and Mitch Barnett are back after being rested last week, so Leka Halasima and Tanner Stowers-Smith revert to the bench. Winger Dallin Watene-Zelezniak returns from a hamstring injury.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dragons:\u00a0No changes in the 24-hour update. Winger Tyrell Sloan has been named to play despite coming off with a hamstring injury in the round 18 win over Wests Tigers before last week’s bye. Moses Suli has been recalled on the bench after playing NSW Cup a fortnight ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n
