JFC Team List: Cleary returns after NSW Cup debut
<div>
<p>Fresh from his New South Wales Cup debut, halfback Jett Cleary rejoins the One New Zealand Warriors’ Jersey Flegg Cup (under-21) side for Saturday’s round 13 clash against South Sydney at Redfern Oval (11.15am kick-off local time; 1.15pm NZT).</p>
<p>The 20-year-old was promoted to play alongside NRL players in last Sunday’s NSW Cup clash against Canterbury Bankstown.</p>
<p>He was heavily involved throughout the 40-24 win, gaining 79 metres from 10 runs, producing a line break assist and try assist, handling the ball 36 times, making 15 tackles and gaining 136 metres from five kicks.</p>
<p>Now he’s back in the Jersey Flegg side, reunited with young halves partner Jack Thompson (19) who had the reins at #7 in last week’s match against the Bulldogs.</p>

<p>Thompson handled his assignment impressively as the Warriors thundered back from a 6-22 halftime deficit with a 34-6 second half rampage to topple their higher-ranked opponents 40-28, a result which lifted them to 10th, one point off eighth spot.</p>
<p>Also returning is second rower Kahu Capper while Jason Salalilo starts in the front row after recently having a taste of NSW Cup football.</p>
<p>Buoyed by their success last weekend, the Warriors face a South Sydney side lying two spots below them in 12th spot on eight points.</p>
