Jett Cleary is reportedly set to make his NRL debut for the NZ Warriors against the Newcastle Knights at Go Media Stadium on Sunday, according to Code Sports.

The 21-year-old playmaker has impressed in NSW Cup with nine tries and nine try assists this season, and could now get his chance in first grade, debuting for the club his father once played for and coached to an NRL Grand Final.

Te Maire Martin’s fitness could still play a part, with the experienced halfback potentially not fit enough to return this round.

Tune into Sport Nation from 3pm Sunday with Sam Ackerman, Blake Ayshford and Anthony Gelling providing live and free commentary, with kick-off scheduled for 4pm.
