New combinations will be on show for the One New Zealand Warriors in their fourth-round Jersey Flegg Cup (under-21) match against Wests Tigers at Campbelltown Sports Stadium in Sydney on Sunday (1.30pm kick-off local time; 3.30pm NZT).
The contest is the first of a tripleheader with games against the Tigers in the NRL and Jersey Flegg competitions and the Western Suburbs Magpies in the New South Wales Cup.
The Warriors will be searching for their first win of the season in the Jersey Flegg, their third loss a 22-34 result against the Sydney Roosters last Saturday.
The Tigers have had a win and two defeats, having suffered a heavy 18-44 setback against Melbourne last weekend.

Tallan Egan takes over at fullback, Caelys Putoko returns in the centres, Harry Tauafiafi makes his debut on the wing and James Marriott makes his second appearance in the halves replacing Luke Hanson who has been named in the NSW Cup squad.
Hooker Makaia Tafua – captain this week – returns after being on NSW Cup duty last week, Jason Salalilo is switched from loose forward to prop, Jackson Kite returns to the second row and Etuate Fukofuka slots in at loose forward.
