Sonny Bill ... high-profile recruit gets a start against the Warriors. Source: Brett Costello / News Limited
Sydney Roosters star recruit Sonny Bill Williams has won a starting berth in the Roosters team to play the Warriors at Eden Park on Saturday.
SBW came on from the interchange bench in the first round loss to South Sydney and had a mixed start, capped by his first try.
The Warriors have made two changes to their starting line-up for the game, with Manu Vatuvei ruled out with an ankle injury and Feleti Mateo named on the bench. Vatuvei was forced off the field after just 18 minutes in Saturday's 40-10 loss to Parramatta and is expected to be miss two to three weeks.
He will be replaced on the wing by Bill Tupou, while Steve Rapira will start in place of Mateo in the Warriors' back row.
Wests Tigers reacted to a 42-10 defeat by Newcastle by making no changes to their starting side.
Coach Mick Potter said: "We're looking to rectify what we did on Monday. The season is not over in round one."
