NZ Warriors will welcome key utility Dylan Walker back into the fray for their Anzac Day clash with Gold Coast Titans in Auckland.

Walker hasn't featured since round two, after aggravating his troublesome ankle in the last-gasp defeat to the Storm in Melbourne.

The only change to the starting side which lost to the Dragons on Friday sees Jacob Laban replace Kurt Capewell in the second row.

Capewell suffered a throat injury against St George and his recovery timeframe is yet to be confirmed.

It will be Laban's first outing as part of the run-on side, with the 20-year-old making three appearances off the bench so far this season.

Poised to make his first-grade debut is Zyon Maiu'u, who has been named to the interchange.

Along with Capewell, also out of contention again this week is utility Chanel Harris-Tavita (calf) plus Marata Niukore (foot), Jazz Tevaga (hamstring), Bunty Afoa (hamstring), Luke Metcalf (leg) and Demitric Sifakula (knee).

The match marks a milestone for fullback Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad, who will make his 100th first-grade appearance.  

Warriors: 1-Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad, 2-Dallin Watene-Zelezniak, 3-Rocco Berry, 4-Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, 5-Marcelo Montoya, 6-Te Maire Martin, 7-Shaun Johnson, 8-Addin Fonua-Blake, 9-Wayde Egan, 10-Mitch Barnett, 11-Jackson Ford, 12-Jacob Laban, 13-Tohu Harris

Interchange: 14-Dylan Walker, 15-Tom Ale, 16-Zyon Maiu'u, 17-Paul Roache, 18-Adam Pompey, 20-Taine Tuaupiki, 21-Ali Leiataua, 22-Edward Kosi, 23-Tanner Stowers-Smith
