Warriors utility Jazz Tevaga is free to play South Sydney in this weekend's NRL match on the Sunshine Coast.

He's been cleared after facing a judiciary hearing for a grade one dangerous contact offence from the match against the Titans.

Coach Stephen Kearney's refusing to play the "what if" game ahead of the Rabbitohs match.

Karl Lawton's starting at hooker, with Issac Luke in the extended reserves as he overcomes a hamstring niggle.

Luke's availability remains uncertain, but Kearney's selected him for a reason.
