NZ Warriors have overhauled their spine for their NRL clash with the Newcastle Knights on Saturday.
Sean O'Sullivan has been handed the No. 7 jersey in the absence of Chanel Harris-Tavita, whose season appears to be over, after being forced from the field with a torn pectoral muscle in the heavy 42-6 loss to Melbourne Storm on Sunday.
The Aussie will make his fifth start of the season, having filled in for Harris-Tavita during an injury layoff earlier this year.
With Wayde Egan ruled out of action with a head injury, utility Jazz Tevaga slides in to start at hooker.
Rookie phenom Reece Walsh returns from his one-game suspension to reclaim fullback duties from Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, who shifts to the wing.
Rocco Berry is back to start in the centres, after being scratched from last weekend's starting side during the captain's run.
Up front, powerhouse Addin Fonua-Blake moves into the starting line-up for the first time since returning from his lengthy injury layoff.
He'll pair with Ben Murdoch-Masila to form a grunty, new-look starting front row.
Included on the extended bench is centre Adam Pompey - back from a one-match suspension - and promising young hooker Taniela Otukolo.
The Warriors will be out to avenge their 20-16 defeat to the Knights - who currently sit 14th on the NRL ladder - back in Round 2.
