Key playmaker Kodi Nikorima is back as the Warriors return to Mt Smart Stadium for the first time in a month against the in-form Raiders on Friday.
Nikorima sat out last week's controversial defeat to the Eels due to a strained ankle ligament. However, he trained with the team on Tuesday and has been named in the No 6 jersey, with Chanel Harris-Tavita dropping back to the bench.
Issac Luke has also been listed in the starting side, although the veteran hooker faces a judicial hearing on Tuesday night where he is disputing the grading of a grade-two dangerous throw charge. If successful in getting the charge downgraded, Luke will be free to play.
