Luke and Vatuvei in Warriors return

Test stars Issac Luke and Manu Vatuvei are late inclusions for the Warriors in Monday’s NRL clash with Newcastle at Auckland’s Mt Smart Stadium.

Hooker Luke will make his NRL home debut for the winless Warriors after being cleared of a knee injury.

Winger Vatuvei has overcome the rib injury he suffered in the second-round loss to Brisbane.

The pair, who share more than 400 NRL caps between them, weren’t initially named to face Newcastle but both have been given the all-clear by club medical staff on Monday morning.
