WATCH | NZ Warriors stand-in skipper Mitchell Barnett joins Running It Straight

Magic Round is in the rearview mirror and it's time for the One NZ Warriors to build upon their 22-20 victory against the Penrith Panthers.

Next in line is Wayne Bennett's Dolphins at Go Media Stadium this Sunday, with Warriors coach Andrew Webster navigating a revolving door to the casualty ward.

Rocco Berry (hand), Marata Niukore (foot) and Freddy Lussick (concussion) return, but as one hooker clears concussion protocol, another enters with Wayde Egan ruled out. Ali Leiataua will also be sidelined with an ankle injury picked up in Brisbane.

With Shaun Johnson and Roger Tuivasa-Sheck still recovering from their respective pectoral and hamstring injuries, the new-look Warriors spine seen at Magic Round will roll out again this week - with Te Maire Martin at 7, Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad at 6, and Taine Tuaupiki at fullback.

Inspirational leader Tohu Harris was ruled out for Magic Round and hasn't been listed this week. Mitchell Barnett stood in as skipper and likely will again for the NRL's Indigenous Round, the barn-storming forward joins Running It Straight this week.

Join Sam Hewat and Blake Ayshford for commentary of the One NZ Warriors v Dolphins, live from Go Media Stadium this Sunday from 5pm.
