The Warriors have had to reshuffle their backline for the last game of their 2016 NRL Telstra Premiership season as they take on the Eels at Mt Smart Stadium on Sunday.

With centre Solomone Kata suspended and winger Manu Vatuvei out with a sternum injury, David Fusitu'a moves from fullback to centre with Tuimoala Lolohea filling in at the back. Jonathan Wright comes onto the wing for Lolohea, while Ken Maumalo will play on the other wing for Vatuvei.

Issac Luke has been selected to start at hooker, with Nathaniel Roache named on an extended bench as cover.
