The Late Mail - Warriors v Storm

New Zealand Warriors v Melbourne Storm
Mt Smart Stadium - Sunday 2:00pm

Some big changes for today's hosts the Warriors with Manu Vatuvei among those ruled out. NSW forward Ryan Hoffman and Konrad Hurrell join Vatuvei as omissions from today's lineup. The reshuffle sees David Fusitu'a return to the side in the centres wearing jumper 18, while Jonathan Wright is Vatuvei's wing replacement in #21. Raymond Faitala-Mariner comes off the bench to start for Hoffman, while Jacob Lillyman drops to the bench with Albert Vete promoted to the front row. Sione Lousi is the new interchange player.

The Storm by comparison have made just some small changes - Tim Glasby drops to the bench, with Felise Kaufusi to start. Ben Hampton is the man omitted from the bench.
