The New Zealand Warriors will return to the National Rugby League competition on Sunday when they host the North Queensland Cowboys at Mount Smart Stadium in Auckland.
The Warriors currently sit two points outside the top eight while the Cowboys are fifth.
The game is before the State of Origin decider next Wednesday and the Cowboys will be missing Jonathan Thurston, Matthew Scott, Brent Tate and James Tamou.
The Warriors are missing players too, with Sam Rapira, Manu Vatuvei and Jerome Ropati all out injured.
Brian McClennan says the Warriors need to win with what they've got.
McClennan has included hooker Nathan Friend, who's been out with a fractured jaw, in the team to play the Cowboys.
