The Vodafone Junior Warriors will have to do without hat-trick heroes David Fusitua and Tuimolala Lolohea when they face Wests Tigers in Saturday’s fourth-round NYC encounter at Westpac Stadium in Wellington (12.40pm kick-off).



In their only NYC appearance so far this season they made a huge impact as the Vodafone Junior Warriors savaged North Queensland 50-12 last weekend to record their first win the season.



However, with the club’s New South Wales Cup side back in circulation after having a bye last weekend, Fusitua and Lolohea step back up a level.



It means the promising Nathaniel Roache is at standoff for the third time this season while Ken Maumalo, who made way for Fusitua last weekend, is back in the centres.

Mason Tonks hasn't played since Round 1. Anybody know if he's injured, or just not making the cut?

I'm really excited about seeing Bunty Afoa play again - the kid is a beast! One of those players who just lifts the whole team when he comes on. Massive energy and enthusiasm.

Looking forward to Bunty's barn storimg leg pumping runs as well.

It would be a stellar year for him if he makes NSW's cup. Looking forward to seeing how Balwinson gets around the park, must have gone ok last week to get another shot at it.

These guys pumped NTH Queensland with their stars. They won't have Lolohea , but the key has to be in keeping those score lines against nice and low surely......hat tricks aren't so important if they're defending well.
