Warriors name team aiming to break 16-game losing streak against Storm

The match-day 17 to run out on Sunday afternoon is identical to the one originally named for the clash with the Tigers in round four before Rocco Berry was ruled out with a minor hamstring injury.

Berry has been named in the centres alongside Ali Leiataua as Adam Pompey is shifted back to the wing.

It’ll be a momentous game for 27-year-old loose forward Erin Clark, who is set to run out for his 100th NRL game in a career that has lasted eight years.

Meanwhile, offseason recruit and former Gold Coast Titans playmaker Tanah Boyd has been named on the extended bench for the first time this season.
