While one Warriors veteran is on his way out, another is just making his way back.
A day after Micheal Luck announcing his retirement at the end of the season, prop Jacob Lillyman's close to making a return from injury.
Lillyman tore his bicep in the NRL pre-season, and coach Brian McClennan says he's on track to return next weekend.
"He's targeting Brisbane a week later, he's been doing some opposed sessions, not heavy contact but light contact, and Jacob's making some really good strides.''
McClennan says their four Kiwis, Manu Vatuvei, Simon Mannering, Shaun Johnson and Ben Matulino, are battling injury after the Friday's test with Vatuvei in doubt to take on the Storm on Wednesday.
