The Warriors have shuffled their forward pack for their upcoming NRL match on Saturday, naming Adam Blair at lock against the Sydney Roosters.
After Warriors prop Sam Lisone was suspended for a dangerous elbow to Canberra Raiders' half Aidan Sezer last Saturday the Warriors have called Agnatius Paasi to start at prop.
Rookie Chris Satae could make his debut this weekend named on the Warriors' bench.
Veteran Simon Mannering is still yet to play for the Warriors in the NRL in 2018, side-lined and recovering still from a shoulder injury he suffered against the Gold Coast Titans in a trial match in February.
"Simon's getting closer but remains a week-by-week proposition," said Warriors coach Stephen Kearney.
"We lose Sam through suspension which is unfortunate because he has been doing a wonderful job for us off the bench.
"At the same time, it provides an opportunity for Chris, who has been impressive for us in the Intrust Super Premiership."
The Warriors are unbeaten so far in the season and sit second on the NRL ladder.
Warriors team to face the Sydney Roosters: 1 Roger Tuvasa-Sheck, 2 David Fusitua, 3 Peta Hiku, 4 Solomone Kata, 5 Ken Maumalo, 6 Blake Green, 7 Shaun Johnson, 8 James Gavet, 9 Isaac Luke, 10 Agnatius Paasi, 11 Leivaha Pulu, 12 Tohu Harris, 13 Adam Blair.
Interchange: 14 Jazz Tevaga, 15 Ligi Sao, 16 Chris Satae, 17 Bunty Afoa, 18 Mason Lino, 20 Anthony Gelling, 21 Albert Vete, 22 Charnze Nicoll-Klockstad.
