Latu Returns To Hookers Position

Warriors coach, Daniel Anderson has made three changes to the Warriors side for this weekend's NRL clash against the Dragons in Auckland.

Anderson has gone for Tevita Latu at hooker in the place of injured skipper Monty Betham, while Paul Dezolt is also likely to get a run from the bench.

Thomas Leuluai gets a start at five eighth ahead of Tony Martin, and Henry Fa'afili comes onto the wing in place of Justin Murphy.

Anderson has also named seven players on the bench, with three to be omitted closer to game day.

The full team is Brent Webb, Henry Fa'afili, Vince Anderson, Clinton Toopi, Thomas Leuluai, Stacey Jones, Karl Temata, Tevita Latu, Iafeta Palea'aesina, Sione Faumuina, Ali Lauiti'iti and Awen Guttenbeil.

Interchange, Tony Martin, Mark Tookey, Wairangi Koopu, Epalahame Lauaki, Evarn Tuimavave, Dezolt and Justin Murphy.
