NZ Warriors head coach Andrew Webster has reshuffled his starting forward pack for the club's historic NRL season-launching clash against the Canberra Raiders at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas (1.00pm kick-off NZT).
It sees three changes with captain Mitchell Barnett starting at loose forward, Jackson Ford coming off the interchange to start in the front row and Erin Clark going to the interchange.
Eddie Ieremia-Toeava is confirmed as 18th man with Te Maire Martin 19th man.
Nicoll-Klokstad wants to support friend Tapine as new Canberra captain, but doesn't want him to succeed too much.
Warriors fullback Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad has perhaps the strangest wish of any player on show in Las Vegas this weekend.
Nicoll-Klokstad, who spent six seasons at the Raiders and made his name there, wants to play his part in the leadership debut of new Canberra captain Joe Tapine.
"Joe is a great mate of mine and I wish him well - just not too well," Nicoll-Klokstad told Wide World of Sports with a wry grin.
