Dally M winner Roger Tuivasa-Sheck\u2019s farewell season<\/a> to the club was cut short with an ACL injury<\/a>, while halfback Tanah Boyd<\/a> also went down with the same problem in the club\u2019s Magic Round game against the Brisbane Broncos. <\/p>\n

This week, forward Jackson Ford was ruled out for up to 12 weeks<\/a> with a pectoral tear, bringing an end to his stellar season.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old was taken off the field after 20 minutes in the Warriors\u2019 38-20 win over the Cowboys in Christchurch<\/a>, with the club later confirming the extent of his injury. <\/p>\n

The Warriors will play the Dolphins this Saturday at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane without the trio, but Tanner Stowers-Smith will come into the front row alongside captain Mitchell Barnett. <\/p>\n

Co-captain James Fisher-Harris (calf), second rower Leka Halasima (hamstring) and winger Alofi\u2019ana Khan-Pereira (leg) are all still out with injury, but Kurt Capewell and Sam Healey return to the matchday squad. <\/p>\n

The last time the teams met was on Anzac Day when the Warriors held on for a 20-18 win<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The New Zealand-based side has been hit with three major long-term injuries so far this season.
