The Warriors will be boosted by the return of talismanic halfback Shaun Johnson and centre Solomona Kata this week as hooker Isaac Luke also makes a shock return to the side having just been ruled out for up to a month with a knee injury.
It will be a near full-strength squad as the Warriors look to bounce back from last week's drubbing at the hands of the Melbourne Storm with Tohu Harris and James Gavet also returning from injury.
While Johnson and Kata's inclusion in the team to face West Tigers on Saturday, hooker Isaac Luke was a shock inclusion having been looking at an extended spell on the side-lines due to a knee injury suffered in the loss to Melbourne.
Luke has been included in the squad after training yesterday and obviously pulling up well.
The Warriors take on the Tigers at Mount Smart Stadium, 7:30pm this Saturday.
