Johnson, Tuivasa-Sheck & Luke A Possibility Not Probability

Andrew McFadden won't be pushed into unleashing his mouthwatering trio at the Auckland Nines.

The Warriors coach has described the likelihood of Shaun Johnson, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck and Issac Luke playing at next month's tournament as a possibility rather than a probability.

McFadden says they can't look at the Auckland Nines as the be all and end all.

He says if they're fit they'll play, but does understand it would be nice to see Tuivasa-Sheck and Luke play in front of the home fans.

McFadden says it's important Warriors fans understand that they're looking to have a strong NRL season rather than win the Auckland Nines tournament at all costs.
