All five of the Warriors players in the New Zealand rugby league side for Friday night's ANZAC test against Australia, will back up for the club's NRL game against the Gold Coast on Sunday.
Fullback Lance Hohaia, centres Lewis Brown and Simon Mannering, prop Sam Rapira and interchange forward Ben Matulino have all been named in an unchanged line up, from that which has beaten Penrith and Melbourne in the past two weeks.
However coach Ivan Cleary says the final lineup won't be confirmed until an hour before kick off, depending on how the Kiwi players come through the test.
He says the club hasn't had to contend with the problem in recent years as the Warriors have usually had a bye week during the ANZAC test.
The match against the Gold Coast is the first of two back-to-back games in Australia, followed by Newcastle the following Sunday, with the side remaining in Australia rather than returning to Auckland.
The Warriors sit just outside the top eight in the competition, having won four of their last five matches.
