Steve Price returns for Warriors

4:15 pm on 18 August 2009

Captain Steve Price and centre Jerome Ropati are both set to rejoin the Warriors for their Round 24-round NRL game against Canberra in Auckland on Sunday.

Price last played in the home loss to St George Illawarra but has been sidelined since with a rib cartilage injury which forced him to miss the club's last three matches.

Ropati has also been in and out of the side recently. Omitted for the last home game against the Gold Coast, he was recalled for the Parramatta encounter only to be ruled out with a shoulder complaint.

But the two experienced campaigners were both named today to face the Raiders in a side otherwise the same as the one that lost to Parramatta on Saturday night in Sydney.
