With Ash Taylor joining Shaun Johnson on the injured list, Kodi Nikorima has been named to return and partner Chanel Harris-Tavita for Friday night's match against the Tigers.

Apart from the enforced change at halfback, coach Nathan Brown had opted for the same 17 used in last week's loss to the Gold Coast Titans.

Taylor and Harris-Tavita teamed up in that match, while Johnson was paired with Nikorima in the opening round defeat to the Dragons.

The Tigers have also struggled to start the season.

They followed up a 26-16 loss to Melbourne with a 26-4 defeat against Newcastle last Sunday.

Warriors: Reece Walsh, Adam Pompey, Jesse Arthars, Rocco Berry, Marcelo Montoya, Chanel Harris-Tavita, Kodi Nikorima, Addin Fonua-Blake, Wayde Egan, Matt Lodge, Euan Aitken, Eliesa Katoa, Josh Curran.
