Kickoff: 3pm (NZ ), 1pm (AUS – Live on Fox Sports 5)
Panthers coach Ivan Cleary will field a strong side for Saturday’s trial match against the Warriors in Rotorua, with 28 players making the trip to New Zealand to kick start the 2015 season.
There’s a handful of players returning to the line-up from off-season injuries and surgeries, including Jamie Soward, Peter Wallace, Bryce Cartwright and Elijah Taylor. Young guns Matt Moylan and Tyrone Peachey will miss the trial due to their All Stars commitments.
A few first grade debutants will have a run this weekend including Eddie Aiono, Andy Saunders and Christian Crighton who are all looking to impress and push for a permanent spot in the side.
After a successful 2014 campaign, the team is looking forward to giving their fans a good result ahead of round 1, and they’ll be aiming to give the Warriors a tough contest in front of their home fans.
