Warriors - Dallin Watene-Zelezniak (calf injury) is replaced on the wing by Edward Kosi.
Marata Niukore, Dylan Walker, Mitch Barnett, Jackson Ford and Te Maire Martin all make their club debuts
Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad returns to the club since his departure in 2018.
Freddy Lussick is the reserve player.
Knights - No changes to the squad in the above link.
Jack Johns is the reserve player.
The Tragics Tip - You never know with the Warriors, they always seem to give their fans false hope by starting their seasons well, Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad will be a welcome addition to their team but I'm not sure he'll be able to answer all their problems. The Knights on the other hand intrigue me, I think that Kalyn Ponga's switch to five-eighth will spark their attack (provided Knights coach Adam O'Brien sticks with him in this position long term) and the recruitment of Jackson Hastings will provide their spine with some much needed structure - Knights to Win
