Peet has made just one change to his 21-man squad from last Saturday’s 34-6 win over Hull FC, with youngster Lukas Mason replacing fellow academy product Kian McDermott in the extended squad. Let’s get into our predicted Warriors line-up, shall we?
9. Hooker: Brad O'Neill
O'Neill has started the season well and he really seems to be benefitting from being able to have a full pre-season. Despite still only being 23 years of age, O'Neill is only four appearances from making his 100th appearance for his boyhood club! Photo: Olly Hassell/SWpix.com
10. Prop: Luke Thompson
Thompson is embarking on his third season in cherry and white, having started 51 of his 54 appearances following his arrival from the NRL ahead of the 2024 season. The Warriors fans will be hoping Thompson can enjoy a relatively injury-free season because he is one of the premier props. Photo: Dean Williams
11. Back-row: Junior Nsemba
The 21-year-old has started the season bang in form, and is another player who looks to be reaping the rewards of a full pre-season programme. He has 77 appearances to his name since making his first-team debut in 2022. Photo: Bernard Platt
12. Back-row: Sam Walters
The 25-year-old has become a mainstay in Matt Peet's forward pack over the last 12 months or so. Walters played 80 minutes in the back-row in last week's win over Hull, making 12 carries and 36 tackles. Photo: Dean Williams
