THE TEAM NEWS
NEW ZEALAND WARRIORS
- New Zealand Warriors got off the mark for the season at the third time of asking as they overcame Canberra Raiders last week in what was a tense tussle.
- The Kiwi side needed to produce a come-from-behind win in the final quarter and inadvertently, could improve here with Roger Tuivasa-Sheck reverting to fullback because of Taine Tuaupiki being ruled out with concussion.
Starting 13: 1. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck 2. Dallin Watene-Zelezniak 3. Rocco Berry 4. Adam Pompey 5. Marcelo Montoya 6. Luke Metcalf 7. Shaun Johnson 8. Addin Fonua-Blake 9. Wayde Egan 10.

Chanel Harris-Tavita 22. Te Maire Martin 23. Ali Leiataua
NEWCASTLE KNIGHTS
- Newcastle Knights did what was needed to hold off a late Melbourne Storm fightback and claim their first victory of the campaign.
- The Knights produced their best effort of the early part of the season and will aim to back that up here but will have to make do without Leo Thompson because of suspension.
Starting 13: 1. Kalyn Ponga 2. Thomas Jenkins 3. Dane Gagai 4. Bradman Best 5. Enari Tuala 6. Tyson Gamble 7. Jack Cogger 8. Jacob Saifiti 9. Phoenix Crossland 10. Daniel Saifiti 11. Tyson Frizell 12. Kai Pearce-Paul 13. Adam Elliott Bench: 14. Jayden Brailey 15. Mathew Croker 16. Jack Hetherington 17. Brodie Jones Reserves: 18. Dylan Lucas 19. Jed Cartwright 20. Thomas Cant 21. Will Pryce 22. Jackson Hastings
THE PREDICTION
New Zealand Warriors were far from perfect but there were some solid signs in their win over Canberra Raiders last week. The same can also be said of Newcastle Knights who also claimed a first win of the season in their clash with Melbourne Storm but this is a tough trip on the road and the hosts have to be fancied to make it back-to-back successes.
TIP: NEW ZEALAND WARRIORS TO WIN
