Issac Luke hasn't been happy with his form and believes he's not playing up to international standard.

Warriors marquee signing Issac Luke has offered a frank assessment of his form, saying he wouldn't pick himself for the Kiwis team to play Australia next week.

Rated one of the best hookers in the world, Luke's high-profile shift from the Rabbitohs during the NRL off-season came with significant expectation at his new club.

Instead he has been one of several players singled out for strong criticism as the Warriors have slid to 13th on the NRL ladder, with a three-win, five-loss record, after a 42-0 thumping at the hands of the Storm on Anzac Day.

A veteran of 36 tests since his debut in 2008, Luke has been the Kiwis first-choice No 9 for several year, even co-captaining the team on their tour of the UK last year in the Simon Mannering's absence.

But prior to Warriors training on Thursday, as they focus on bouncing back from an embarrassing display against Melbourne, the 28-year-old felt he didn't warrant selection for next Friday's clash with the Kangaroos in Newcastle.

"To be perfectly honest, If I was (coach) Stephen Kearney I would probably leave me out of this [test]," Luke said.

"I'm not happy with my performances. I have been pretty up and down the whole season. It hurts, but I would rather him having a comfortable team that he's looking for to take on the Aussies.

"I have had to work really hard [to get into the Kiwis] and this year I don't think I have matched the requirements for the Kiwi jersey. If Mooks (Kearney) gives me the opportunity, I will grab it with both hands and obviously do my best."

The Warriors shipped five tries and 28 points in the first half on Monday, allowing the Storm to make easy metres and regularly break tackles through a flimsy defensive line.

Luke was adamant his team weren't lacking intent, but compared the feeling he had on the field to being stuck in quicksand, where the harder they fought the faster they sunk.

He believed the combined effect of "seven or eight" players off their game contributed to the one-sided nature of the match and was prepared for whatever the consequence of his performance was.

"I know Cappy is making a few changes," Luke said. "Whatever he goes with, I'm happy with. Hopefully I don't, but if it means I go back to NSW Cup I'll go back there, or to the bench.

"In life you have to go backwards to go forwards and this is part of that. I've had that nearly every year since (coach) Michael Maguire was at Souths. I [always] managed to react pretty well. If that is what is needed I'm prepared to do that."

Luke has been named to start at hooker against the Dragons, but Warriors coach Andrew McFadden has named an extended bench and confirmed several changes were in the wings.

Whatever the make-up of the final 17-man team, Luke said the whole playing group was looking forward to making amends for the Anzac Day disaster.

"We are all burning and that is probably the best thing out of it, we do have to react from it.

"It is not good for the club and I'm sure the members and fans have a lot of questions and if we could we'd answer them we would.

"We have to turn up on the paddock and that will answer a lot of those questions."
