While Shaun Johnson and Issac Luke have joined the injured list this week two more experienced players have been discharged from the casualty ward.
Centres Gerard Beale (leg) and Blake Ayshford (back) are both set for their comebacks with the Vodafone Warriors’ Intrust Super Premiership side in today’s encounter with the Western Suburbs Magpies at Mount Smart Stadium (2.45pm kick-off).
Beale will make his first appearance for his new club since breaking his leg in the Kiwis’ opening Rugby League World Cup clash against Toa Samoa at Mount Smart Stadium last October.
