The Warriors have received a mix bag of news heading into their clash with the Sea Eagles, with a star half finally making his long-awaited return, but this joy has been dampened by the loss of a key spine player.
News has come in too late for the Warriors, but they will be thrilled to welcome back the talented Luke Metcalf.
Making his first appearance since round four, Metcalf will slot in at five-eighth, pushing Chanel Harris-Tavita to the interchange bench.
However, the team will be without Wayde Egan, with Freddy Lussick stepping up to take his place at hooker.
Meanwhile, Karl Lawtown's absence for the Sea Eagles sees Ben Trbojevic stepping into the starting lineup, a huge win for those who have backed him since the beginning.
Speedster Tolutau Koula also joins the interchange bench for the Sea Eagles.
In other matches, the Manly Sea Eagles are battling to crack into the top four as they face off against the Warriors, while fans will be eagerly watching to see if the Roosters can pile on more misery for the Parramatta Eels.
