James Fisher-Harris, Leka Halasima and Alofi’ana Khan-Pereira have all been named to return from injury for the One New Zealand Warriors’ round 20 NRL clash against the Wests Tigers at Campbelltown Sports Stadium in Sydney on Friday (8.00pm kick-off local time; 10.00pm NZT).

And the door has been left open for Mitchell Barnett and Kurt Capewell to back up from tomorrow night’s State of Origin series decider after being included on the extended bench.

Prop Fisher-Harris (calf) and second rower Halasima (hamstring) have been sidelined since the 18-20 loss to Penrith on May 31, a period that encompassed two byes plus the tight 8-10 loss to the Sharks, the 38-20 win against the Cowboys and the heart-breaking 24-26 defeat by the Dolphins.

Winger Khan-Pereira, who has nine tries in eight appearances, is set to come back from a thigh injury suffered in the home loss to the Sharks which kept him out of the contests with the Cowboys and Dolphins.

While he returns the Warriors have lost leading try scorer Dallin Watene-Zelezniak – 16 tries in 15 appearances – after he picked up a hamstring injury against the Dolphins.

Barnett and Capewell will be considered to back up 48 hours after the Origin showdown at Suncorp Stadium tomorrow night when they face off against each other for the third time in this year’s series (Barnett in the front row for New South Wales and Capewell in the second row for Queensland).

Barnett returned from Melbourne to take on the Cowboys in Christchurch four days after playing in Origin II but Capewell was omitted.

As well as Barnett and Capewell, the others included on the extended bench are Sam Healey, Eddie Ieremia-Toeava, Demitric Vaimauga, Marata Niukore, Luke Metcalf, Makaia Tafua and ex-Wests Tigers Luke Laulilii, who has been signed on a short-term deal until the end of the season.

Following their third bye the One New Zealand Warriors remain second on the ladder on 26 points along with the Roosters and Knights.

When the Warriors and Tigers met at Go Media Stadium in round four, the visitors stole a 32-14 victory. They go into Friday nights match lying 12th after three consecutive losses to the Dolphins, Knights and Dragons.
