Whangarei and Nelson to host Warriors

The Warriors will play in Nelson for the first time as part of the buildup to the 2016 NRL season.

The Warriors have announced details of two home pre-season games heading into their 2016 NRL campaign.

They will face the Gold Coast Titans in Whangarei on February 13, which falls a week after the NRL Nines tournament in Auckland.

On February 20 they will make a rare foray to the South Island to face the St George Illawarra Dragons in Nelson.

The Warriors have never played in Nelson, the home town of their veteran captain Simon Mannering.

The games may be the first chance for supporters to see high-profile signings Roger Tuivasa-Sheck and Issac Luke playing in a Warriors jersey.
