Redcliffe’s Moreton Daily Stadium will have a Kiwiana flavour about it tomorrow with a stack of Kiwis on the field and plenty anticipated off it in the crowd for the Vodafone Warriors’ second and final NRL trial against the Gold Coast Titans (2.00pm kick-off local time; 5.00pm NZT).

Apart from the host of New Zealand-born players in the home side’s 25-man squad, the Titans boast nine of their own among the 24 players they listed for the hit-out.

There are four former Vodafone Warriors – Patrick Hebert, Erin Clark, Sam Lisone and Paul Turner – plus three Kiwis – Herman Ese’ese, Kevin Proctor and Esan Marsters – as well as Gisborne-born Queensland Origin front rower Moeaki Fotuaika and Auckland-born winger Greg Marzhew.

Māori All Stars representative Herbert is named to start in the centres with one-game Vodafone Warrior Erin Clark at hooker and Fotuaiki at prop. The other six are all included on the bench.
