Shaun Johnson has been named to make his 200th NZ Warriors appearance, despite the impending birth of his second child.
Johnson, 32, is in line to bring up a double-century of appearances for the Warriors, provided he travels to Sydney to face Parramatta Eels on Saturday night.
Only four other players have played 200 games for the Warriors - Simon Mannering, Stacey Jones, Manu Vatuvei and Ben Matulino.
However, the influential halfback's participation on Saturday isn't guaranteed, as he and wife Kayla are expecting the birth of their second child.
Should Johnson be unavailable, young halfback Ronald Volkman has been named on an extended interchange bench, while Dylan Walker could also move into five-eighth, and shift Luke Metcalf to No.7.
Across stints with both the Warriors and Cronulla Sharks, Johnson has made 243 appearances all-up in the NRL.
Meanwhile, Walker will make his 200th NRL appearance, as one of three other players notching milestones against the Eels.
The 28-year-old reaches 200 in just his 14th game for the Warriors, after stints with South Sydney Rabbitohs and Manly Sea Eagles.
Prop Addin Fonua-Blake will bring up 150 NRL games, while hooker Wayde Egan plays his 100th, in an otherwise unchanged side from the one that fell to defeat against the Rabbitohs last Friday.
Meanwhile, opponents Parramatta have been heavily weakened. The Eels are without the influential trio of halfback Mitchell Moses, prop Reagan Campbell-Gillard and captain Clint Gutherson, all on State of Origin duty for New South Wales.
Elsewhere, NZ Kiwis five-eighth Dylan Brown is also absent as he serves a ban for pleading guilty to two counts of sexual touching in a Sydney bar last month.
