Warriors: Coach Andrew Webster has named the same 17 that took on the Rabbitohs but there could be a late change with halfback Shaun Johnson possibly remaining in New Zealand for the birth of his second child. Ronald Volkman is listed among the reserves and would be the man to fill the No.7 jersey should Johnson not make the trip. Josh Curran has been issued with a breach notice the NRL and will miss the game through suspension.
