Tevaga and Vuna come into starting side

Jazz Tevaga and Joseph Vuna come into the starting line-up to replace the unavailable Issac Luke and Tohu Harris for the Vodafone Warriors’ 20th-round NRL encounter with the Gold Coast Titans at Cbus Super Stadium in Robina today (2.00pm kick-off local time; 4.00pm NZT).

With Tevaga and Vuna brought up from the bench, back-up hooker Karl Lawton and back rower Leivaha Pulu come onto the interchange alongside props Sam Lisone and Bunty Afoa.

Pulu returns to the NRL squad for the first time since the club’s sixth-round loss to the Broncos in April. Out for 14 weeks with a midfoot injury, he made his comeback with a 60-minute stint for the Vodafone Warriors’ Intrust Super Premiership side last Sunday.

The call-ups for Pulu and Lawton mean three former Titans will line up for the Vodafone Warriors against their old club today with prop Agnatius Paasi starting in the front row. All three joined the Vodafone Warriors this season from Gold Coast.

This is not a game.

This is a mine feild.

The damage a loss could do to the Warriors year long efforts in this game don't bare thinking about.

Only two NRL points on offer.

Only one place on the table.

Lose and the damage is a real mind fuck for Kearney to coach his boys through.

So much to lose so little to gain.

Most won't factor in that a chunk of the Warriors heart and brain are on the injury list.

I recon the Titans will mount a siege in this game, they are playing for pride against their play ground tormentors.

I have them strong favorites.

Hope our boys man up and take them out.

 

[Hanging Over]

Fingers crossed the Warriors win, but our forward pack looks weak as fuck.
James, Arrow and Wallace are gunna have a field day rolling through the middle

 

[Lance155]

I think we need more than a narrow win. Win here and beat the dragons next week and boy get excited

 

[BeastMode]

Looks like a beautiful day in the Gold Coast

Hope to see lots of points and plenty of open play running

GoStrongtheWarriors!!!!

 

[Aman]

What’s up with the superimposed head shots in the line up? Shaun Johnson looks like a metro terminator sent from the future to destroy the Titans

 

[Aman]

Such a banana skin line up. Titans have nothing to lose and fully fit athletic team that loves a upset.

 

[Wellington Warrior]

If we don’t win I’m holding whoever hasn’t given me the $100 this week to put on the Titans to win to curse them!!!

 

[Matulino's Left Shoulder]

SKY panel collectively wanking over Tevaga smh.

How dare you compare him to the Huntley Hurricane.

 

[bruce]

Sam Lisone worries me. Ken Maumolo doesn't at all.

 

[Aman]

Feel like the tits are gonna really chance thier hand today and we need to punish them when they make mistakes. This is not gonna be a close one - it’ll be a blow out either way

 

[Makasene]

Gunning for 15 wins in the last 16 games against a team that couldn't hold a 14 point second half lead against Newcastle.

Never been more confident.

 

[Lance155]

SKY panel collectively wanking over Tevaga smh.

How dare you compare him to the Huntley Hurricane.

Easy, they are both overrated

 

[matiunz]

Oh shit the Warriors retro round promo is cringeworthy as fuck

 

[matiunz]

Easy, they are both overrated

Blasphemy against Lance!

 

[Matulino's Left Shoulder]

Good to see the lads RUN IT UP THE GUTS.

 

[bruce]

Blake Green WTF

 

[Matulino's Left Shoulder]

Apparently shoulder charges against Maumalo are legal.

 

[Chief]

Sin Bin coming if the past has any influence on us
