New captain Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, Ryan Hoffman, Shaun Johnson and Solomone Kata headline a 23-man squad named today for the Vodafone Warriors’ first NRL trial against the Melbourne Storm at Sunshine Coast Stadium on Saturday (5.00pm kick-off local time; 8.00pm kick-off NZ time).
“This trip to the Sunshine Coast is hugely significant in terms of our preparation for the NRL season,” said Vodafone Warriors head coach Stephen Kearney.
“This is what we’ve been building towards since coming into camp in early November.
“It’s a big chance for a lot of players from our Nines squad to show where they for the NRL season and it’s also important for the others selected including Roger as he comes back from missing most of last season.
“One thing we do know is that the Storm will give us a real test. They always do.”
