Warriors fans can breathe a sigh of relief.
Second rower Kurt Capewell and hooker Wade Egan suffered knocks in the club’s season-opening 12-16 loss to the Cronulla Sharks last Friday night and there were fears the injuries may keep them from boarding the plane to Melbourne for this
weekend’s clash with the Storm.
Egan played just 34 minutes as he sat out the rest of the game with an arm injury while Capewell’s club debut was interrupted by an 11-minute stint on the bench with a rib issue before he returned to complete the last 21 minutes of the contest.
However, the NRL veterans and have both been included in an unchanged starting-line-up to take on the Storm, who come into the match buoyed by an 8-0 shutout of the three-times premiership-winning Penrith Panthers last Friday night.
Head coach Andrew Webster has made just one change to the extended 22-man squad with Chanel Harris-Tavita included in jersey 23 in place of second rower Jacob Laban.
