St George Illawarra will be without Joel Thompson for their trip to New Zealand on Sunday after the back rower was suspended for an incident in the Dragons’ win over the Roosters.
Thompson had his grade two careless high tackle charge downgraded to a grade one charge for a shot on Aidan Guerra in the 17th minute.
Thompson will miss the clash with the Warriors and also has a further 57 carry-over points.
Euan Aitken has been named to return in the centres after a hamstring problem, while Benji Marshall has not been named in Paul McGregor’s squad.
Ben Creagh (knee), Dylan Farrell (back) and Yaw Kiti Glymin (hamstring) all remain out along with long-term absentee Mose Masoe (knee).
Cronulla coach Shane Flanagan has no such problems with Jayson Bukuya the only concern but he was cleared of a broken jaw in the win over Penrith.
Their opponents Brisbane will be without hooker Andrew McCullough (hamstring) while prop Adam Blair is suspended.
Ben Barba will play his 150th NRL match.
