Numerous changes have been made to the Vodafone Warriors’ final line-up for today’s 10th-round Intrust Super Premiership encounter with Penrith at Pepper Stadium (12.40pm kick-off local time; 2.40pm NZT).
Centre Matt Allwood starts at fullback instead of Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad, Paulos Latu moves off the bench to take Allwood’s spot in the centres, Ken Maumalo is on the wing for Tuimoala Lolohea and Lolohea starts at standoff for Sam Cook who moves to hooker with Reece Charlie going to the bench.
There’s one other change in the forwards with Daniel Palavi starting in the second row for Bunty Afoa, who’s in the club’s 19-man NRL squad along with Nicoll-Klokstad.
The Vodafone Warriors are lying second one point behind Wyong after the Roos gave them their first loss of the season two weeks ago.
