The Warriors will be without centres Peta Hiku and Patrick Herbert for the club's final game of the NRL season against the Raiders in Canberra.
Herbert picked up a quadriceps injury in the warm-up before last Friday night’s match against South Sydney, while Hiku is out with a shoulder injury also suffered in the 31-10 loss.
Blake Ayshford and rookie Adam Pompey will team up to cover the midfield against the red-hot Raiders.
Hiku will undergo further scans to determine the severity of his injury.
Rookie half Chanel Harris-Tavita has also been left out, with tests confirming ligament damage in his arm suffered against the Rabbitohs.
Hiku, Herbert and Harris-Tavita join an injury list which also includes second rower Tohu Harris (whose last game was in round 14), outside back Gerard Beale and hookers Nate Roache and Karl Lawton.
Named on the extended bench are Josh Curran, Taane Milne, Hayze Perham and Leivaha Pulu.
Hiku’s absence ensures prop Leeson Ah Mau will finish the season as the only player to appear in each of the club’s 24 games.
The Raiders currently sit third on the NRL ladder and will be brimming with confidence against the Warriors, after their emphatic 46-12 pasting of the Kiwis in Auckland last month.
