NRL: NZ Warriors v Brisbane Broncos - what you need to know
Former Warriors Reece Walsh gifted victory to his old team, when he kicked off dead in April. Photo: RNZ Warriors v Broncos Kickoff: 5pm Saturday, 28 June Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane Live blog updates on RNZ Sport Brisbane Broncos will always hold a significant place on Warriors folklore, as their very first opponents in their 1995 NRL debut. No-one at the ground that night will ever forget the pre-game live army display, with commandoes scaling down the Mt Smart grandstand before their very eyes. This will be the 51st meeting between the two teams, with the Warriors winning 22, Broncos 27 and one drawn so far. Brisbane enjoy a 10-4 advantage playing at Suncorp Stadium, but the Warriors have actually won twice at the venue this season, taking down North Queensland Cowboys at 'Magic Round' and then accounting for the Dolphins two weeks later. Recent contests have proved competitive, with Brisbane winning four of the last six, but Warriors have taken out the last two. Chanel Harris-Tavita had a try double in the 32-16 victory at Auckland last season, while Luke Metcalf kicked a Golden Point penalty - the result of former Warriors Reece Walsh overcooking his kickoff - for the 20-18 win in April. The Warriors are reeling from their fourth defeat of the season, albeit to four-time defending champions Penrith Panthers, conceding three tries in the space of 15 minutes to a side depleted by Origin commitments. The result continued a worrying trend of struggling to regroup off bye weeks - they have now lost twice after a week's rest and have another bye coming up next week. They remain in the top four on the table, with a four-point buffer to their next closest pursuers, but they must win this week to retain that margin, with Sydney Roosters benefiting from an automatic two points from the bye. The Broncos have struggled for consistency this season and the murmuring was already being heard for coach Michael Maguire. Wins over Gold Coast and Cronulla have bookended a bye to greatly improve their standing, and they seem to be coming around. They are 2-5 against teams currently in the playoff picture, but one of those wins was against top-of-the-table Canterbury Bulldogs. Warriors: 1 Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad, 2 Ed Kosi, 3 Adam Pompey, 4 Rocco Berry, 5 Rog-er Tuivasa-Sheck, 6 Chanel Harris-Tavita, 7 Luke Metcalf, 8 James Fisher-Harris, 9 Wayde Egan, 10 Marata Niukore, 11 Kurt Capewell, 12 Jacob Laban, 13 Erin Clark Interchange: 14 Te Maire Martin, 15 Jackson Ford, 16 Demitric Vaimauga, 17 Leka Halasima Reserves: 20 Tanah Boyd, 22 Bunty Afoa With winger Dallin Watene-Zelezniak sidelined for at least a month with an ankle injury , coach Andrew Webster has opted for Ed Kosi as his replacement, rather than Taine Tuaupiki, who filled the role through the first nine rounds of the campaign. Kurt Capewell returns from Origin duty and slots into the second row, with Leka Halasima shifted to the interchange. Rocco Berry is back from his latest hamstring niggle in the centres. Broncos: 1 Reece Walsh, 2 Josiah Karapani, 3 Katoni Staggs, 4 Gehamat Shibasaki, 5 Jesse Arthars, 6 Ezra Mam, 7 Adam Reynolds, 8 Corey Jensen, 9 Cory Paix, 10 Payne Haas, 11 Brendan Piakura, 12 Jordan Riki, 13 Patrick Carrigan Interchange: 14 Billy Walters, 15 Kobe Hetherington, 16 Xavier Willison, 17 Jack Gosiewski Reserves: 18 Tyson Smoothy, 19 Selwyn Cobbo Maguire has stuck with the same line-up that did the job against Cronulla last time out, including former Warriors Walsh and Jesse Arthars. Significantly, Selwyn Cobbo, who has confirmed a shit to the Dolphins next season, has been retained in the reserves, despite seemingly falling out of favour with Maguire. Brisbane's uptick in form seemed to co-incide with the return of fullback Reece Walsh from a knee injury suffered during his last appearance against the Warriors. No doubt, Walsh is the Broncos' most dangerous attacking weapon, so containing him will be crucial for the Warriors - but they know that all too well. Christchurch-born Jordan Riki made his NZ Kiwis test debut last year in his hometown against Australia. The second-rower continues to be a strong and consistent perform-er for the Broncos, and part of a pack that also contains Origin stars Payne Haas and Patrick Carrigan. The Broncos seem to be slowly bringing their game around, adapting to Maguire's au-thoritarian approach, while the Warriors may be suffering speed wobbles, after their solid start to the season. They haven't lost consecutive games yet, but Brisbane will have to take the parochial ex-pat Kiwi crowd out of the game. Give this one to the Wahs.

Warriors distance themselves from 'run it straight'
RUNIT Auckland. Trusts Stadium. Photo: Andrew Cornaga / Photosport The rugby league community is ensuring they distance themselves from the controversial new collision trend known as 'run it straight.' Calls are growing louder to ban the game in the wake of a teenager's death in Palmerston North. Ryan Satterthwaite, 19, died after suffering a catastrophic head injury while playing a version of the game. Though several copycat leagues have appeared, the pre-eminent and most popular is the RunIt Championship League. Current Warriors halfback Chanel Harris-Tavita has appeared in promotions for RunIt, advertised as a 'special guest' for the first night of trials in Auckland. When RNZ contacted the club for comment, a spokesman insisted the Warriors had nothing to do with the organisation. Coach Andrew Webster said he is not across the new collision craze. "I'm not a social media man so I don't know too much about it." Asked whether it could affect perceptions of the NRL, Webster said he didn't want to make an uneducated statement. "I honestly don't know enough about it, any contact sport should be done in a safe environment, but I'm focused on our game." Former Warrior and current club mentor Manu Vatuvei spoke at the second night of trials. "I know a lot of people hate it, and a lot of people love it. I'm one of those people who love it," he said at the time. Other notable athletes to have previously endorsed RunIt include current UFC light heavyweights Carlos Ulberg and Navajo Stirling. Former All Black Saveatama Eroni Clarke, the Pasifika engagement manager for NZ Rugby told Checkpoint Satterthwaite's death was a tragedy. Regulations that focus on health and safety need to be put in place, Clarke said. His message to young people is: "Don't do it, there's too much risk involved, we've seen now the extreme of it and the high risk that it brings - head trauma and other things that it brings as well." Saveatama Eroni Clarke. Photo: Supplied "I think about my own children and I think about Caleb and I'm thinking about his brothers and I'm thinking well certainly if there is a contact sport that I want them to play it's rugby." Young people who want to play a contact sport should join rugby, where there is good coaching and safety is in mind, he said. His message to high profile players is: "We can't be seen to support something like this."
