Warriors' coach Ivan Cleary confirmed today he was leaving
the Auckland-based National Rugby League club at the end of
the season for a three-year term at the Penrith Panthers.
The New Zealand Warriors will travel to Queensland with
plenty of cover in case any of their five Kiwis fail to back
up from the Anzac rugby league test in Robina on Friday
night.
Clubs like the New Zealand Warriors will die if National
Rugby League salaries are pushed up to try to retain star
players like Israel Folau, coach Ivan Cleary said today.
New Zealand Warriors coach Ivan Cleary today expressed shock
at the news that the Melbourne Storm have systematically
cheated the National Rugby League's (NRL) salary caps rules
over the past five years.
There'll be a few nerves and Simon Mannering knows he'll be
puffing a bit on his return to the National Rugby League
(NRL), but he can't wait to end the delayed start to his
captaincy of the New Zealand Warriors.
