Highlights Latest

Milford made a successful comeback from a hamstring injury in the Hostplus Cup for the Central Capras on the weekend.

Niu has not played since injuring his knee against the Broncos in round four, a night when he showed bravery by playing with the injury for 70 minutes.

Niu has been named on the wing in place of Robert Jennings.

Brenko Lee left the field in the second half of Saturday’s golden-point loss to the Raiders with hamstring tightness, but is still on track to play against the Sharks.

He has been named at centre, with cousin Edrick Lee and Valynce Te Whare named on the extended bench as cover.

Niu and Connelly Lemuelu have also played centre in the NRL, so coach Wayne Bennett has options if Brenko Lee does not recover in time.

Kurt Donoghue is also named on the extended bench with Poasa Faamausili and JJ Collins.
