The Warriors have been dealt a blow ahead of their clash against the St George Illawarra Dragons with Shaun Johnson and Solomone Kata ruled out with injury.
Kata (ankle) sustained the injury in the team's loss against Brisbane last weekend, and wasn't expected to be fit for the match against the Dragons. The club announced on Monday that Kata was set to miss up to two weeks, but named him in their squad for the week on Tuesday, before removing him on Thursday.
Johnson (leg) missed the side's 30-8 win over the Sydney Roosters in round four due to the injury, but had been fit for their last two outings against North Queensland and Brisbane.
Anthony Gelling will start in place of Kata, while Mason Lino - who orchestrated the win over the Roosters - will start in place of Johnson.
Warriors: Adam Blair, Tohu Harris, Simon Mannering, Agnatius Paasi, Issac Luke, Bunty Afoa, Mason Lino, Blake Green, Ken Maumalo, Anthony Gelling, Peta Hiku, David Fusitu'a, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck. Interchange (from): Jazz Tevaga, Sam Lisone, Albert Vete, Chris Satae, Isaiah Papali'i, Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad.
