The Warriors will have their top tackler Michael Luck back for Sunday afternoon's must-win match with Penrith in Auckland but the Panthers will be without their Kiwi second rower for the match which will see the loser out of the contention for the finals.
Frank Pritchard is having a scan in his injured shoulder and is out for the rest of the season.
The Warriors have to win their last two matches but if they finish equal with other sides on 28 points their inferior points differential will keep them out of the top eight.
