Tohu Harris is back for Melbourne Storm while Taane Milne slides on to the wing for St. George Dragons, fresh after reppin' Fiji against Tonga.

Tuimoala Lolohea isn't the only lad who is out of favour with Stephen Kearney as Albert Vete's been coolin' in reserve grade ever since Kearney swung the axe.
What does it mean for Aotearoa Kiwis now that Kevin Proctor and Jesse Bromwich take a six-month trip to the naughty chair?
Australia gave Aotearoa another almighty touch up in Canberra and there's a few shenanigans floating around on the periphery as well.
Tuimoala Lolohea will be in the shop window as he'll start in the halves for Tonga. We've got plenty more funky notes to absorb before a big ol' Saturday of international footy.
Kodi Nikorima will come off the bench to spark Aotearoa around the ruck, check the notes to see who else is crucial to Aotearoa's chances against Australia in the Anzac Test.
Greg Leleisiuao is a Junior Kiwis veteran and we've got a few lads who have been re-selected, plus there few exciting newbies like Penrith half Jarome Luai in the 2017 Junior Kiwis squad.
David Kidwell has thrown a few curve-balls in his Kiwis squad for the Anzac Test. Nowadays we've got so many options that you just need to expect that though.
Mt Smart is becoming a fortress, a fortress built on top of defensive foundations.
Why on this jolly ol' Earth would Shaun Johnson want to leave a team with Roger Tuivasa-Sheck at fullback and Tohu Harris on his way to join in on the fun? Gap that, we've got the Roosters on Sunday.
Josh Aloiai continues to come off the bench for Wests Tigers, Te Maire Martin has been cut for Penrith and Kenny Edwards is set to dazzle in the halves for Parramatta.
The Warriors went to Melbourne and played the Storm at their own game. Apart from Will Chambers gassin' Bodene Thompson and a few other things, it wasn't all that bad.
Roger Tuivasa-Sheck doesn't care who gets the attention because he's a lovely chap, but we know he's the main man each and every week. Especially because Stephen Kearney's got the Warriors zoned in on a fairly basic style of footy, that will ensure we don't see them blown away on Anzac Day in Melbourne.
Looks as though Kieran Foran's off to join uncle Des at the Bulldogs. Foran makes any footy team better but he hasn't been solely responsible for minor and major improvements the Warriors have made in just seven rounds of footy under Stephen Kearney.
Who else is working their way into contention for a Kiwis Anzac Test spot? Sio Siua Taukeiaho has shown how powerful he can be in just one game back from injury and Jared Waerea-Hargreaves deserves some loving as well.
We go hard and fast through some more off-contract #KiwiNRL cuzzies/usos/tokos like Sitaleki Akauola, who would go well in returning to Auckland.
So much #KiwiNRL action this weekend in fitting Anzac fashion, led by the best prop in the game doing what only Jesse Bromwich can do.
There's a bunch of #KiwiNRL cuzzies coming off-contract, so get the down-low on Jordan Kahu, Fa'amanu Brown and Agnatius Paasi.
Joey Leilua made his uso Ken Maumalo look a bit silly and the Warriors lost their gauge-game in Canberra. Gotta keep it moving forward though.
Guess who leads the NRL in dummy half runs? Bully! We'll dissect how Issac Luke is crucial to the Warriors in Canberra, plus Jacob Lillyman's playing for a contract and an update on the halves situation.
