No changes for Vodafone Junior Warriors
Saturday 21 July 2012 3:04 PM
The competition-leading Vodafone Junior Warriors will take the field as selected for their 20th-round NYC encounter with the Newcastle Knights at Mount Smart Stadium tonight (5.15pm kick-off local time).
The starting line-up is the same for the fourth week running as the Vodafone Junior Warriors seek their fifth straight win to solidify their position on top of the points table.
Wins against Cronulla, North Queensland, Gold Coast and Brisbane have carried them to first on points difference from Penrith (both teams are on 29 points).
Tonight’s match is a landmark event for standoff Carlos Tuimavave, who will become the club’s sixth player to appear in 50 NYC matches.
Coming onto the bench for this match is centre Adam Tuimavave-Gerrard with Eko Malu 18th man.
