One New Zealand Warriors CEO Cameron George has hailed inclusion in the NRL’s Las Vegas round next year as one of the most exciting and significant ventures in the club’s history.
The NRL has officially confirmed the Warriors will join the Penrith Panthers, CronullaSutherland Sharks and Canberra Raiders in the second edition of the season-opening extravaganza at Allegiant Stadium.
In an expanded programme, there’ll also be a Super League encounter pitting the Wigan Warriors against the Warrington Wolves plus a women’s international between the Australian Jillaroos and the England Lionesses.
The matches will be played on Saturday, March 1, just nine days before the 30th anniversary of the Warriors’ debut in the Australian competition on March 10, 1995.
The One New Zealand Warriors will be the away team taking on the Raiders while the Panthers face the Sharks.
“We’re absolutely thrilled to be involved in an event that will provide our club, members and fans with an unbelievable experience,” said George.
