Kodi Nikorima returns at halfback for the Warriors, who will be forced into a reshuffle for Friday's clash with the Raiders after Issac Luke was suspended tonight.
Luke failed to have his dangerous throw charge downgraded at the judiciary and was suspended for three weeks as a result.
His suspension will mean that either Chanel Harris-Tavita or Karl Lawton, who is returning from a shoulder injury, will come into the starting side at hooker.
Harris-Tavita had initially been named to the bench after replacing Nikorima in the starting side last weekend.
Nikorima will line up in the halves after overcoming the ankle complaint that kept him out of the agonising two-point loss to the Eels last weekend.
The extended bench named coach Stephen Kearney includes new signing Josh Curran.
The Warriors sit 12 th after the controversial 24-22 loss to Parramatta, one win behind the eighth-placed Broncos.
Canberra are entrenched in the top four having won four of their last five matches.
