We are only moments away from kick off. Big pressure on both sides in 2016, a first round win will be of immense importance. Can the young Tigers take the next step or will the Warriors big names show their class?

The Warriors will field 6 new faces headlined by superstar fullback Roger Tuivasa-Scheck and dynamic hooker Issac Luke. After a strong showing at the Auckland Nines, utility Nathaniel Roache will debut off the bench.

Other new faces for the Tigers include halfback Jack Littlejohn, who is filling in for the suspended Luke Brooks, as well as former NSW prop Tim Grant who is looking for a fresh start after a disappointing season at South Sydney in 2015. Former Parramatta lower grader Josh Aloiai will make his NRL debut off the bench.
