Fonua-Blake on bench

Addin Fonua-Blake has been named on the Warriors extended benchafter suffering a serious leg injury way against the Roosters in Sydney on April 4. Without teenage sensation Reece Walsh and Adam Pompey, both suspended, Brown has been forced into two changes in his backline from the team that snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in the 29-28 loss to the North Queensland Cowboys. With captain Roger Tuivasa-Sheck switching back to fullback to replace Walsh, Rocco Berry and Edward Kosi have been drafted back into the NRL squad after playing for the club’s feeder side the Redcliffe Dolphins last week. The Warriors could come up against Melbourne Storm bench prop Aaron Pene who yesterday signed with the club on a two-year deal from next season.

Warriors team: Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, Marcelo Montoya, Euan Aitken, Rocco Berry, Edward Kosi, Kodi Nikorima, Chanel Harris-Tavita, Jamayne Taunoa-Brown, Wayde Egan, Leeson Ah Mau, Bayley Sironen, Tohu Harris, Josh Curran. Interchange (from): Jack Murchie, Kane Evans, Bunty Afoa, Ben Murdoch-Masila, Jazz Tevaga, Sean O’Sullivan, Ken Maumalo, Addin Fonua-Blake.
