Shaun Johnson, a halfback, will take a week longer to recover from his injury.
The veteran of the One New Zealand Warriors was supposed to make his round 15 home game against Melbourne on Saturday, June 15, but he is now aiming to recover from his pectoral injury this week.
The 33-year-old had a mild pectoral strain on May 12 during the round 10 match against the Sydney Roosters.
He did not play in the following two games against Penrith and the Dolphins in anticipation of being cleared following the team’s round 13 bye this past weekend.
Seven of the 11 players that were unable to play against the Dolphins on May 26 have already returned, including Johnson.
