over Scott Prince (shoulder), Mat Rogers (hip), Brad Meyers (ribs) and Steve Michaels (shoulder), although all have been selected.

Utility Luke O’Dwyer and winger Jordan Atkins have been included on a six-man bench with Cartwright revealing he would make a final decision on the make-up of his team on Thursday.

Warriors lock Michael Luck makes a return after missing the last two weeks with a nasty gash in his left thigh.

The 28-year-old tackling machine slots straight back into the starting side, pushing Jacob Lillyman back to the bench.

"Everyone knows how tough Lucky is and we're certainly glad to have him back in the side. Being the sort of person he is, he wanted to play last week but it wasn’t possible," Warriors coach Ivan Cleary said.

"His cut has healed really well, he's been putting in the work and he's ready to go."

The Wests Tigers' injury problems have eased with four of their stars to return for Saturday night's mouth-watering encounter with the Sydney Roosters at the SFS.

Wade McKinnon, Bryce Gibbs, Liam Fulton and Geoff Daniela are all back on board for Tim Sheens' side after missing the narrow loss to the Gold Coast in round 26.

Anthony Minichiello and Jake Friend are the main inclusions for the Roosters after missing the trip to Townsville last weekend.

Minichiello will slot straight into the No.1 jersey pushing Sam Perrett back onto the wing, while friend replaces Nick Kouparitsis at hooker.
