    Warriors fullback prepared for unfamiliar role in NRL magic round game against Panthers

    Warriors fullback Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad is prepared for an unfamiliar role in this afternoon's NRL magic round game against the Panthers in Brisbane

    - article from www.rugbyleague.co.nz

    He's been named at five-eighth - partnering Te Maire Martin in the halves as part of a makeshift line-up.

    Nicoll-Klokstad feels his role at six will be similar to playing at the back.



    Kickoff is at 4.

    Meanwhile - off the field - criminal trouble for a Panthers player ahead of this afternoon's clash.

    Winger Taylan May's been arrested in Sydney earlier this morning - charged with assault and two counts of stalking or intimidating.

    May's been stood down by Penrith - but not suspended by the NRL under its no- fault stand-down policy.
