43min

We're going to the bunker again, for a possible try to the Rabbitohs. We're checking on obstruction, but even the on-field referees don't see it.

42min

On the last Sutton kicks in behind the line, but David Fusitua drops back and tidies up.

41min

KICK OFF!

The Warriors lost halfback Mason Lino during the week, which sees Peta Hiku shift to the halves and Gerard Beale to come in at centre. An hour from kickoff, coach Kearney has chosen to drop Isaiah Papali'i with Karl Lawton onto the bench. South Sydney passed Robert Jennings fit earlier in the week, which pushes Hymel Hunt back to the interchange and Mark Nicholls out of the squad.
