Warriors Minor Premiers

“Kiwis break a few hearts.” The New Zealand Warriors continue an impressive NRL season by finishing top of the table and taking out the minor pemiership (and a $100,000 bonus for the club) – meaning that the trophy crosses the Tasman for the first time: “not bad for a club rescued from receivership 18 months ago.” Bring on the finals. Daniel Anderson was named coach of the year, Ali Aluitiiti was named second rower of the year and the Bulldog’s Kiwi centre Nigel Vagana was named centre of the year.
