Warriors coach Andrew Webster has recalled Adam Pompey to the centres to replace Roger Tuivasa-Sheck for Sunday night's game against Penrith.

Pompey comes in for Tuivasa-Sheck who confirmed his season - and Warriors career - is over with a ruptured ACL.

That's the only change to the run-on side, with Webster adding Luke Metcalf to an extended bench.

He's opted to leave Origin duo Kurt Capewell and Mitchell Barnett out entirely.

Former coach Brian McClennan joined D'Arcy to discuss.
