Roger Tuivasa-Sheck's season-ending injury has been offset by the return of the Warriors' leading try-scorer.
Manu Vatuvei has been named to start on the left wing for the ANZAC Day match against the Storm in Melbourne, after missing the Warriors' last two matches with a hamstring injury.
His return means David Fusitua swifts to the right wing and Jonathan Wright shifts to the interchange bench.
Tuimoala Lolohea has been confirmed as Tuivasa-Sheck's replacement at fullback, with Thomas Leuluai named to start at five-eighth.
While it's a blow, Kiwis veteran Adam Blair believes his side has the depth to cover Roger Tuivasa-Sheck's absence in the Anzac league test next month in Newcastle.
The Brisbane prop says they have got a lot of young 'kids' that have been stepping up.
