Former Shark Brett Seymour and fellow off-season recruits Jeremy Latimore and James Maloney will make their first appearances for the Warriors in their opening National Rugby League pre-season trial on Saturday against the Sydney Roosters at Rotorua International Stadium.
As well as confirming first-up outings for the new trio, coach Ivan Cleary said two of the club's outstanding prospects Elijah Taylor and Shaun Johnson would play in the first of the club's three preseason hit-outs on consecutive weekends.
"The match against the Roosters will be a great chance not only for us but also for the public to have a good look at our three new signings," said Cleary.
"Brett, Jeremy and James have all settled in really well with us. They've trained well and they've also fitted into life in Auckland. Now they have a chance to show us what they can do."
Seymour joined the Warriors after a total of 101 NRL appearances for in stints with Brisbane, where he teamed up with Darren Lockyer, and Cronulla. Latimore made his debut for Parramatta last year while Maloney did the same for Melbourne.
Cleary won't confirm the Warriors' full squad for the Rotorua match until later in the week and he's yet to determine which exact position Seymour will play.
"Brett will be in the halves but whether it's at six or seven is something we'll decide a little later. He can certainly play in both positions."
Cleary also confirmed the club's newest Kiwi international Ben Matulino will play in Rotorua along with Kevin Locke, who toured with the Kiwis' Four Nations squad last year but didn't play a match.
After playing the Roosters, the Warriors travel to Cairns for their second trial against North Queensland on February 20, then return home to take on Manly at North Harbour Stadium on February 27.
They open their NRL season against the Gold Coast Titans in Robina.
