For season with Warriors

-

two players – Liam Martin and Jarome Luai – sent to the sinbin.

Lock Lachlan Burr – who was rested due to ‘‘general soreness’’ last week – is the only other change to the 17 named for the Panthers. He comes onto the bench for Leivaha Pulu who has been retained on the extended interchang­e.

Sam Lisone, who returned to the side against the Panthers for the first time since round five, keeps his spot on the bench.

The Panthers match was Roache’s first game back from injury since being sidelined with a back complaint in the ninthround win over St George Illawarra in early May and just his sixth appearance of the season.

The 23-year-old also missed the entire 2018 season with a back injury.

Roache is expected to be out of action for between six and nine months.
