What happened to Niukore? Injured?

With Niukore in that 17 we look formidable.
Luke Metcalf has claimed the hotly-contested spot as Shaun Johnson’s partner in the halves for the One New Zealand Warriors’ season-opener against Cronulla Sutherland at Go Media Stadium on Friday night (8.00pm kick-off).

Taine Tuaupiki starts at fullback replacing the unavailable Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad while forward Marata Niukore is also missing, ruled out with a minor foot fracture picked up in the second pre-season trial.

Making his return to the NRL after a two-and-a-half year absence is Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, who’ll line up in the centres for his 112th club appearance.

Of the starting pack used in last year’s preliminary final against Brisbane, the only change is in the second row where Kurt Capewell comes into the second row alongside Jackson Ford.

The interchange bench comprises hooker Freddy Lussick plus middle forwards Tom Ale and Bunty Afoa and utility Dylan Walker.
 
Happy with Lussick in there, though I would have like Jazz to get just one more crack.

I will also dare to disagree with Webby and say that Pompey at 18 is dumb imo, considering he can play wing and centre, when there is a guy like Chanel that has shown he can cover 5/6 position; 18th man isn’t important, until is is..
