Confirmed Line-up: Vodafone Warriors as selected

Interim head coach Stacey Jones has confirmed the Vodafone Warriors will line up as selected for tonight's 23rd-round clash against the North Queensland Cowboys (6.00pm kick-off local time; 8.00pm NZT).

It means utility Chanel Harris-Tavita won't be returning from his knee injury this week despite being retained in the reduced 19-man squad 24 hours ahead of kick-off. 

Prop Dunamis Lui has been named as the 18th man. 

Lui’s last appearance was against Penrith in June, his third match for the Vodafone Warriors since joining the club midway through the season and the 172nd of his career.

Daejarn Asi will again partner Shaun Johnson in the halves on a night when he'll face his former Cowboys teammates for the first time.
