There's a shake-up in the One New Zealand Warriors' 💙 Mighty NSW Cup line-up this week as Jett Cleary and Luke Hanson are set to pair up in the halves for the first time. The duo has been named for Saturday's round seven clash against St George Illawarra at Go Media Stadium, with kick-off at 4.45pm.
Hanson has been alternating between the club’s 💙 Mighty NSW Cup and Jersey Flegg Cup (under-21) sides this season, whereas Cleary has predominantly been playing in the Flegg competition. However, with both Tanah Boyd and Te Maire Martin recently selected to the NRL squad - Martin on the interchange and Boyd as 18th man - Cleary and Hanson have been promoted for the upcoming match against the Dragons.
The Warriors are currently leading the competition, while the Dragons are holding a strong third place. This reshuffling of key players is a direct result of injury and suspension, with further changes seen on the wing due to Edward Kosi being called back into the NRL side. William Fakatoumafi will be replacing Kosi, with Morgan Harper returning from suspension to slot into the centres.
In the second row, Kayliss Fatialofa has been named to start, filling the gap left by Jacob Laban's promotion to the NRL side’s interchange bench.
The Warriors are set to bounce back this week after experiencing their first loss of the season, a disappointing 20-28 defeat by the Newtown Jets in last Saturday’s top of the table contest. Despite the setback, the Warriors have managed to retain the top spot on the ladder, but will face a tough challenge against a Dragons side that sits third with nine points.
For those who missed it, highlights from the top of the table 💙 Mighty NSW Cup battle between the One New Zealand Warriors and the Newtown Jets can be viewed here.
This week's game will undoubtedly test the depth and adaptability of the Warriors' 💙 Mighty NSW Cup side. Fans are keen to see how Cleary and Hanson perform in their new roles, and how the team responds following their first defeat of the season. As always, our NZ Warriors supporters will be watching closely and cheering on our boys to victory.
