One New Zealand Warriors co-captains Mitchell Barnett and James Fisher-Harris are set for just their seventh outing together in today's round 13 NRL match against the Rabbitohs at Accor Stadium in Sydney (2.00pm kick-off local time; 4.00pm NZT).
They started each of the first five matches of the season together but Fisher-Harris was on the field for just eight minutes against the Storm before being forced off with a pectoral injury.
Since then the veterans have had just one match together in harness - the round 11 16-12 win over the Dolphins - before both missed last Sunday's clash against the Raiders.
Their return today provides a timely boost as the Warriors aim to bounce back from last Sunday's bruising battle at Go Media Stadium.
They face a South Sydney side sitting ninth four points behind them on 14; the Rabbitohs had wins over Brisbane and Wests Tigers in their previous two games.
Halfback Jamie Humphreys continues to develop his game and is set to engage in a mouth-watering battle with in-form Warriors playmaker Luke Metcalf.
The 26-year-old is the current Dally M leader, holding a two-point lead over Cronulla's Will Kennedy, with voting to go behind closed doors from round 13 onwards.
