Issac Luke has been ruled out of the Warriors' clash against the Titans on Sunday with a knee injury and is set for up to a month on the sidelines in a huge blow to the team's hopes of making the finals.

Luke suffered a meniscus tear in his knee late in last week's golden-point win over the Panthers.

He was optimistic of taking the field on the Gold Coast but failed to get through Thursday's training session.

The Kiwi international has been booked in for surgery on Monday with the club hopeful of him returning for the final regular season game against the Eels next month.

After a slow start to the season, Luke has gradually found form and the Warriors will miss his ability to exploit space around the ruck and get the forwards on the front foot.

Jazz Tevaga has been called up from reserve grade to make the trip to the Gold Coast, while fellow rookie Nathaniel Roache was named on the interchange on Tuesday.

Both players have both been used at hooker this season with Tevaga playing nine games so far, two more than Roache.

With just five games left in the season and the Warriors clinging to eighth place, every game is crucial if they to reach the finals for the first time since 2011.

Andrew McFadden's side can leapfrog the seventh-placed Titans with victory on Sunday, however, the home side has been boosted this week by the signing superstar Jarryd Hayne, who is set to make his club debut from the bench.
