Fullback Kevin Locke will make his first appearance of the season playing at fullback for the Vodafone Warriors' New South Wales Cup side against the Illawarra Cutters at WIN Jubilee Oval in Sydney on Saturday (3.10pm kick-off local time; 5.10pm NZT).
Locke, who picked up an ACL knee injury with the Kiwis at the Rugby League World Cup, was cleared to return to full training two weeks ago.
He joins five other players who have been in the club's NRL side at various times this season - centres Konrad Hurrell and Carlos Tuimavave, loose forward Feleti Mateo, standoff Chad Townsend and second rower John Palavi.
