NRL: Bunty Afoa, Kurt Capewell return for NZ Warriors against Newcastle Knights

NZ Warriors will welcome Bunty Afoa and Kurt Capewell back into the fold for their clash with Newcastle Knights on Sunday.

Capewell returns from a throat injury which ruled him out of the Anzac Day loss to Gold Coast Titans last week, shifting Jacob Laban back to the interchange.

Afoa has spent the last three games on the sidelines due to a hamstring injury but will add some much-needed power to the Warriors bench for their trip to McDonald Jones Stadium.

After impressing in his first-grade debut last week, Zyon Maiu'u rejoins the reserves.

Placed one spot below the Warriors in 13th on the competition ladder, the Knights enter the contest on the back of a narrow win over the Dolphins.

The Warriors are out to snap their three-game winless run, after a draw to Manly and defeats to the Dragons and Titans.

Warriors: 1-Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad, 2-Dallin Watene-Zelezniak, 3-Rocco Berry, 4-Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, 5-Marcelo Montoya, 6-Te Maire Martin, 7-Shaun Johnson, 8-Addin Fonua-Blake, 9-Wayde Egan, 10-Mitch Barnett, 11-Jackson Ford, 12-Kurt Capewell, 13-Tohu Harris

Interchange: 14-Dylan Walker, 15-Tom Ale, 16-Jacob Laban, 17-Bunty Afoa, 18-Adam Pompey, 20-Zyon Maiu'u, 21-Edward Kosi, 22-Taine Tuaupiki 23-Tanner Stowers-Smith
