The Warriors will be without veteran standoff Blake Green for tomorrow's crucial NRL contest with the Melbourne Storm in Auckland.

Green has been scratched from tomorrow's round 19 clash with a rib complaint which he picked up in the final moments of last week's 26-6 win over the Broncos.

As a result, Mason Lino has been called into the starting line-up has Green's replacement, making his sixth appearance on the season - his first since helping the Warriors overcome the Eels in May.

Utility Pita Hiku will also miss the match due to a hand injury.

The Warriors expect both Green and Hiku to be available again next week. 

Tomorrow's match kicks off at 4pm at Mount Smart Stadium.
