Injury woes have hit three teams hard as they prepare for their must-win NRL semi-finals, while the Warriors have received a much-needed boost with the return of Dally M favourite Shaun Johnson.
The star halfback missed the Warriors' qualifying final loss to the Panthers due to a calf issue but has now been named to take on Newcastle in Auckland.
However, the Knights have been dealt a devastating blow with experienced playmaker Jackson Hastings ruled out after aggravating an ankle injury in their thrilling win over Canberra.
Melbourne Storm, on the other hand, have lost winger Xavier Coastes but have recalled Justin Olam and Reimis Smith for their clash with the Roosters.
