Fiji Bati pair Brayden Williame and Marcelo Montoya will start for the New Zealand Warriors against the Newcastle Knights in their opening NRL clash on Friday.
Wiliame will make his debut in the Green and White jersey after stamping his mark in the side in their pre-season match earlier this month.
He will partner with Tongan Viliami Vailea in the centre.
Meanwhile, Fiji-born Solomon Vasuvulagi has been dropped from the opening match.
The former Glenora Rugby League Club prop made his debut from the Warriors bench and scored in their warm-up match against the Wests Tigers.

Warriors will take on the Knights at 7 pm at Sky Stadium in New Zealand.
