Mason Lino will make his second start of the season and Anthony Gelling is set for his first run-on appearance in the Vodafone Warriors’ seventh-round NRL clash against St George Illawarra at Mount Smart Stadium tomorrow night (8.00pm kick-off; match day sponsor: Vodafone).
They have tonight been brought into the starting line-up with centre Solomone Kata and halfback Shaun Johnson ruled out of the initial squad of 21.
Johnson missed the 30-6 win over the Sydney Roosters with a leg injury but returned the following week against North Queensland and also played against Brisbane last week.
Gelling made his third appearance off the bench against the Broncos, coming onto the field late in the match when Kata was helped off with an ankle injury.
