NZ Warriors have been boosted by the returns of captain Tohu Harris and fullback Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad for Saturday's clash against Penrith Panthers.
The duo were both absent for Sunday's 14-0 defeat against Sydney Roosters after picking up injuries in the Anzac Day loss to Melbourne Storm.
Harris suffered a recurrence of a knee injury that saw him sidelined for two matches earlier in the season, while Nicoll-Klokstad failed a head injury assessment, and was withdrawn through the NRL's concussion protocols.
Their returns see the pair both take up their usual positions, as Josh Curran drops to the interchange bench for Harris, and Dallin Watene-Zelezniak moves back to the wing after filling in at fullback after Taine Tuaupiki was also ruled out of facing the Roosters.
Elsewhere, Marcelo Montoya keeps his spot in the centres alongside Adam Pompey, celebrating his 100th NRL match across stints with both the Warriors and Canterbury Bulldogs.
The Warriors are looking to avoid a third straight defeat, after dropping two matches in succession for the first time this season.
